Hand fry the meatballs until just barely cooked.

In a hot skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter until melted.

Add 1 tablespoon of flour, stirring to combine, then add another half tablespoon for a total of 2 tablespoons flour.

Cook the flour until the taste is gone, then add 1 cup of broth and bring to a simmer.

Add 1/2 cup of oat milk to the sauce and adjust thickness as desired.

Add vegan Worcestershire sauce and Trader Joe's umami seasoning to the sauce for flavor.

Return the meatballs to the sauce to finish cooking.
