Vegan Scones
The Best Vegan Scones.
Oh, the joy of a good Vegan scone. That perfect sweet treat with the flaky and moist texture that compliments any tea or coffee.
These Vegan Scones are so delicious, easy to make with regular everyday ingredients and are great for all
occasions from tea, to brunch to parties, to snacks and everything in between.
Ingredients
- 3 cups of All Purpose Flower
- 1 Tablespoon of Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup of Monkfruit Sugar or Coconut-Sugar
- Pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt
- 1 cup of Solid Vegan Butter or Solid Extra Virgin Coconut-Oil (leave the oil or butter in the refrigerator for a bit, until it’s hardened. It should not be liquid)
- Your choice of:
- Fresh Berries
- Dried Cranberries
- Dried Mulberries
- Unsulfured Apricots
- Vegan Chocolate Chips
- Slivered Nuts
- Lemon Zest of 1 Lemon
- 1 1/2 cups of your choice of Vegan Milk
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- Heat oven to 400-425 Fahrenheit
Directions
1. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowel.
2. “Cut” in the butter or coconut-oil into the flower-mixture, using a large fork or a sturdy whisk….leave pea-size chunks of the butter or coconut, because it creates air pockets when baking in the oven and gives the scone that flaky texture.
3. Mix in your choice of fresh berries or dried fruit, slivered nuts or chocolate chips or a mixture of everything and the lemon zest if desired.
4. Add the Vegan milk and the vanilla extract. Don’t over-mix or knead, just enough to hold the dough together.
5. Place dough on a flowered surface, spread it out into a rectangle and roll it out a little bit into about 1/2 inch thickness.
6. Cut dough into squares and cut the squares into triangles or cut into any shape you like…..I personally find it easiest to just make even squares.
7. Place the triangles or squares onto a cookie sheet that is lined with Parchment Paper.
8. Bake at 400-425 (depending on your oven) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Mulberries
Mulberries are ancient super berries and a superfood that has been used to improve blood circulation and lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Dried mulberries contain resveratrol, a compound that has anti-aging effects.
Mulberries are a good source of fiber. Fiber reduces harmful cholesterol, which is essential for a healthy digestive system.
Mulberries have tons of Vitamin C, which supports the immune system, repairs tissues, protects vision, and fights oxidative damage.
Mulberries are high in protein, which makes them a great post-workout snack. They also contain a whopping amount of calcium and iron.
Iron fights fatigue and keeps you energized, while calcium is the foundation for strong bones and teeth and prevents the risk of osteoporosis.
Apricots
Apricots are full of Vitamin A, which is essential for good eye-health and helps with night vision.
Apricots contain antioxidants which neutralize free radicals, and thus prevent obesity and heart disease and regulate the glucose metabolism.
Apricots contain lots of fiber, which is important for a healthy gut and a healthy ecosystem in our intestines.
Apricots contain boron, which improves bone mineral density.
Apricots are a good source of beta-carotene, which reduce fine lines and wrinkles and contribute to healthy looking skin and appearance.
Cranberries
Cranberries are best known for promoting urinary tract health. They kill the bacteria causing UTI.
Cranberries contains beta-carotene, which the body converts to Vitamin A for healthy skin and eyes.
Cranberries protect against collagen degradation in the skin and protect against cognitive decline.
