This Vegan Pot Pie will quickly become a weeknight favorite! It's impossibly easy to make and requires very little prep. It takes less than 30 minutes in the oven and will be on your table in no time!

It's been rainy and cold here the past few weeks, so I'm keeping us warm with plenty of comfort food! We've been enjoying Baked Vegan Mac and Cheese, my Vegan Potato Leek Soup and these delicious Vegan Pot Pies!

Seriously, this is the easiest recipe ever and it's completely kid-friendly! I made this recipe without onions and used common frozen veggies that most kids will eat (especially when they're covered in a creamy sauce and topped with a flaky crust). YUM!

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN POT PIE

(full ingredient amount in recipe card below)

Whisk together non-dairy milk and flour in a small bowl. Add vegetable broth to a large pan and warm over medium heat. Now stir in the flour/milk mixture.
Cook until sauce starts to thicken up.
Add frozen vegetables and cook until sauce is reduced and thick. Now add the tofu and gently combine.
Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.

Slightly roll one sheet of pie crust on a flat surface. Cut out two circles roughly 6" in diameter, and two circles that are slightly bigger than the width of an 8-Ounce Ramekin, about 4.5". (I used cereal bowls for the larger circles and a Pyrex container to make the smaller circles). You may need to roll the dough a bit more to fit the 4 circles. Repeat with remaining pie crust.
Line a ramekin with a larger circle and fill with veggie mixture about ¾ the way full.
Now place the smaller circle on top and gently press around the sides to close. Pierce the center of each pie with a knife. Repeat with remaining ramekins.
Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until top is golden and the filling is slightly bubbling. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

TIPS FOR MAKING VEGAN POT PIE

Since the ingredient list is short, you'll get most of the savory flavor from the broth, so choose a flavorful one. You can add extra seasoning if you prefer though.

You can use any type of frozen veggies that you like, so feel free to swap with your favorites.

Don't like tofu? You can replace it with seitan or your favorite meat-substitute. I use Tofurky Chick'N for this too! I sauté it separately before adding to the filling.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). You will need 4 8-Ounce Ramekins or something similar
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and flour. Set aside.
To a large saucepan, add the vegetable broth and warm over medium heat. Now stir in the flour/milk mixture. Cook until sauce begins to thicken for about 4-6 minutes.

Slightly roll 1 sheet of pie crust on a flat surface. Cut out two circles roughly 6" in diameter, and 2 circles that are slightly bigger than the width of the ramekin, about 4.5". (I used cereal bowls for the larger circles and a Pyrex to make the smaller circles). You may need to roll the dough a bit more to fit the 4 circles. Repeat with remaining pie crust.
Line a ramekin with a 6-inch dough circle and fill with veggie mixture about ¾ the way full. Now place the smaller circle on top and gently press around the sides to close. Pierce the center of each pie with a knife. Repeat with remaining ramekins.

Notes

* You can also make one large pot pie using the two sheets of pie crusts. You will need an 8-9" pie pan as well. Roll out the dough to fit pan if needed. Assemble the same way as instructed with the ramekins. The cook time may take 10-15 minutes longer.

* I used a flavorful broth to keep the ingredient list short and simple. I didn't feel the recipe needed extra seasoning but feel free to add more to taste. You can add things like garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, cumin or rosemary.

* PRESSING TOFU: wrap a block of tofu in a few paper towels and place it on a rimmed plate. Add a cast iron skillet on top (or something equally heavy) and let it drain for 20-30 minutes. I have a Tofu Press which makes it easier. With this recipe, you'll only need half the block of tofu, but I usually press the whole block and save the remaining for another recipe. To make things easier, you can buy Pre-Pressed Tofu.
