Dairy-Free Swedish Meatballs are perfect with pasta or creamy mashed potatoes. The ultimate comfort food for weeknight dinners!

Swedish meatballs are delicious, juicy, and full of flavor. You need to add this to your dinner rotation asap.

In addition to being non-dairy, these swedish meatballs are also egg-free and gluten-free. You’d never guess it either!

Dairy-Free Swedish Meatballs

For years now, everytime I make my dairy-free and eggless meatballs, I want to recreate IKEA’s Swedish Meatballs.

Well, I’ve finally perfected it and can’t wait for you to try it! Here’s what you’ll need for the baked meatballs:

  • Ground beef
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Fresh parsley

How to Make Dairy-Free Swedish Meatballs Gravy

The gravy is arguably one of the most important parts of the entire dish! Here’s how to make the swedish meatball sauce with no cream or dairy.

Ingredients

  • Veggie broth
  • Coconut milk
  • Soy sauce (or tamari, if gluten-free)
  • Dijon mustard
  • Cornstarch (or alternative)
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

As the meatballs cook in the oven, add all of the ingredients (except for the cornstarch and fresh parsley) to a skillet or saucepan, then bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to a simmer and whisk in cornstarch. Let simmer for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the gravy is thick and creamy.

Transfer cooked meatballs to skillet and coat with gravy sauce. Serve swedish meatballs over fusilli pasta or mashed potatoes.

The Best Eggless Meatballs

These swedish egg-free meatballs are rich, savory, and comforting. Once covered in the creamy gravy, they’re melt in your mouth delicious!
