This vegan hollandaise sauce is so darn tasty and delicious! It is nut-free, mayo free, and tofu free, which makes it accessible to all!

This hollandaise sauce recipe is perfect for topping my Vegan Eggs Benedict [you gotta try it!] or any veggies that you may have!

It actually whips up quite quickly and you can make it while you marinade your tofu from the eggs Benedict recipe, or while your veggies are cooking!

As you may know from reading my site, I am not a fan of using nutritional yeast as a main ingredient in recipes. I don’t like the taste, not going to be sorry about it!

However, nutritional yeast SHINES in sauces, when added in a small amount! For example, the flavor that nutritional yeast adds to my Vegan Brown Gravy is divine!

Nutritional yeast gives the same boost of flavor to this vegan hollandaise sauce because it is used in a small amount, just enough to taste yummy without overpowering the recipe!

Another thing to keep in mind is that this is a vegan hollandaise sauce with no tofu and no nuts! So everyone can enjoy.

The one ingredient you simply cannot make this recipe without is Black Salt or Kala Namak. This ingredient will give your recipe an “eggy” flavor and smell. DO NOT skip it!

Use your vegan vegan hollandaise recipe to impress your friends because it is so tasty and delicious!

Is Black Salt Powder Really Necessary?

YES!!!! DO NOT MAKE THIS RECIPE WITHOUT BLACK SALT POWDER! It is commonly used in plant-based cooking such as my Vegan Egg Salad and is so amazing!

I travel to Iceland quite often and actually have real volcanic black salt from Iceland. My mom and I tried it and yeah, doesn’t smell or taste like rotten eggs.

The minute you order Black Salt Powder from Amazon or get it from your local Indian grocery store, you will see why I say don’t bother making this vegan hollandaise recipe without it.

I had put off order it for a long time, and my local Whole Foods thought I was wild when I asked for it, but it really is worth the couple bucks and a few days wait!

Kala Namak is popularly used by vegans and vegetarians in Indian cooking, and it is the perfect way to dress up tofu dishes to make them taste like real eggs.

Again, you will think I am a totally wild and “weird” vegan until you try it and see that it actually does taste and smell strongly of sulfur.

Once you follow this recipe, you can add as much Black Salt Powder to taste, depending on if you like a strong or lighter flavor.

Finally, Black Salt Powder is actually pink, not black! Don’t ask me why it is called Black Salt when it isn’t even black! Please get this essential ingredient when making your vegan hollandaise!

How To Make The Vegan Hollandaise Sauce

This recipe is titled EASY vegan hollandaise sauce because I want you to understand how simple this is to make!

All you have to do is saute your onion in oil in a small pot for about 3 minutes over medium heat. You can also use green onions which is what I prefer to do in many cases!

Then, you will prepare your milk and arrowroot in a cup and set it aside. You can also use cornstarch. This is what is going to give the vegan hollandaise sauce a “thicker” consistency.

Next, add your white wine and vinegar to the onions and bring the mixture to a boil until the liquid has reduced to about 2-3 tablespoons. I know this isn’t much, but bear with me! You want that flavor all good and yummy!

Combine turmeric and vegetable broth bullion or powder to your milk mixture. You can find vegetable broth bullion at most stores and especially health food stores. You can also find it online.

Once your onion mixture has reduced, add the milk mixture to the pot and lower the heat. You are going to want to whisk for 5-7 minutes or until the mixture thickens.

This is the same process that I do in my Vegan Chocolate Pudding.

You must mix with a whisk or spoon consistently until the sauce thickens. If you do not whisk it, it will be lumpy and gross!

Once the sauce is thick, mix in nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and black salt powder and stir to combine.

Do a taste test and add more black salt powder as necessary.

This vegan hollandaise sauce tastes the best when it is warm, but not hot. You want the flavors to blend, but don’t want it too cold.

Go ahead and make the vegan hollandaise and then set it aside while you put your Vegan Eggs Benedict together.

How To Store Vegan Hollandaise

You can easily store this vegan hollandaise sauce covered and in the fridge for up to 5 days.

To reheat, simply dump it into a small saucepan and whisk until warm and just heated throughout.

I highly recommend adding a little liquid in small amounts if you feel like you prefer a thinner consistency. Only add milk 1 tablespoon at a time so you don’t overpower the recipe!

    I made this sauce this morning. My husband eats the majority of vegan foods, however does include eggs and fish in his diet. So, for him, I made his eggs and layered spinach and avocado on the muffin, and smothered it all with the sauce. I just had the spinach and avocado on a muffin with the sauce. It was soooo good! Hubby even commented he hated to see the last bite go down. I might use a slight less nutritional yeast and a little more lemon juice next time as I like a touch more tartness. You could not tell there was wine in the sauce. I used a Sauvignon Blanc which has a hint of grapefruit, but the flavors blended in very well. Love this recipe and it will be in the keep category.
