Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter (chilled)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Optional Variations

  • 1/2 cup fresh berries (blueberries or raspberries)
  • 1/3 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice
  • 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • Maple syrup (natural) and powdered sugar (natural) glaze

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and gather all ingredients. Make sure the plant-based butter is chilled to get the right flaky texture.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, brown sugar (natural), and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Cut in Plant-Based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, incorporate the chilled plant-based butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened plant-based milk, natural maple syrup, and natural vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Avoid over-mixing to maintain tenderness.
  6. Shape and Cut Scones: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a round about 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut into 8 equal wedges.
  7. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the scone wedges on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 15-18 minutes or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

  • Keep the plant-based butter cold to create flaky layers and a tender crumb.
  • Handle the dough lightly and avoid overworking to prevent tough scones.
  • Use fresh baking powder for the best rise.
  • Experiment with quick oats or steel-cut oats for different chewiness.
  • Allow scones to cool completely before glazing to avoid sticky tops.
