Ingredient notes
- Unsweetened plant milk: any type of unsweetened non-dairy milk is okay, but soy milk is my favorite one for baking.
- Apple cider vinegar: you could also use white vinegar or lemon juice instead.
- Granulated sugar: feel free to use other types of sugar, like brown, coconut, or cane sugar. Make sure the sugar you're using is vegan.
- Vegan butter: store-bought vegan butter works well, but I strongly recommend you make your own vegan butter at home for a healthier version. I've only made this recipe with vegan butter, but I guess solid coconut oil will work as well.
- Vanilla extract: I always use homemade vanilla extract as it's more affordable and extremely easy to make, but store-bought is also a good choice.
- Fresh blueberries: this ingredient is optional. You could also add other add-ins such as vegan chocolate chips, nuts, fruits like strawberries, raisins, cranberries, lemon zest, orange zest, etc.
- Vegan icing: this ingredient is also optional, but it will make your vegan scones taste even better!
Dietary variations
- Make it gluten-free: I've only made this recipe using all-purpose flour, but you could probably use a different type of flour, such as whole-wheat flour. However, you may need to adjust the amount of it. Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version of this recipe.
How to make vegan scones
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF or 200ºC.
- Mix the plant milk and vinegar in a jar or bowl until well combined. Let the mixture rest at room temperature for at least 5 minutes. After this time, the milk will thicken and curdle.
- Mix all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
- Grate the frozen vegan butter using a box grater. Add it to the mixing bowl and combine with a pastry cutter until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs.
- Incorporate the milk and vinegar mixture, the vanilla extract, and the blueberries, and mix until well combined.
- Pour the dough onto the counter and work the dough into a ball with floured hands. Press into an 8-inch disc (about 20 cm) cut into 8 wedges using a sharp knife.
- Transfer to a lined baking tray, brush the scones with some plant milk for extra crunch, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Arrange the scones 2-3 inches apart onto the baking sheet (about 5-7 cm), and bake for 20-26 minutes.
- Let the scones cool for at least 15 minutes, then drizzle some of the glaze onto each scone.
- Let the glaze set before serving your vegan scones.
How to store
- Fridge: store the leftovers at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Freeze: let them cool before freezing. Then store in an airtight container to protect from freezer burn for up to 3 months. Allow the scones to defrost at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
