How to make vegan scones:
In a small bowl, mix your flax egg (see recipe), add almond milk, almond flavor, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, sift together dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
Then cut the coconut oil into the dry ingredients with a fork.
Add vegan chocolate chips, diced strawberries, and slivered almonds and gently stir with a spoon or your hands until berries are well coated with the flour mixture.

Expert Cooking Tip:
Adding the berries to the flour mixture before adding the liquid ingredients helps coat the berries with a bit of flour, preventing moisture pockets, and incorporating everything into the scones.
Now add the non-dairy milk - (Almond milk is my preference for this recipe).
Use a spoon or fork to mix together until all moisture is absorbed and there are no dry spots.
Form the vegan scone batter into a large ball and place on a parchment covered or pan-sprayed tray. Use your hands to press the ball gently into a disc shape about eight inches across.
Use a knife to cut the disc into eight pieces.

Then separate the pieces by an inch or two to allow space for rising. Add glazing sugar if you like and place in the oven to bake at 400 degrees for 25-28 minutes.
Your vegan scones are done baking when they are beginning to brown around the edges! Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside... and completely irresistible!

How to store your vegan scones:
Store your scones in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. Refrigerate to keep them fresh a few days longer, re-warming as needed.

Can I freeze my vegan scones?
Wrap the scones individually in plastic wrap and then place in a plastic wrap before freezing. Defrost and then warm in the oven at 300 degrees for 5-10 minutes or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Enjoy!

Thank you! I can’t wait to try it with the white wheat flour!
Sheila
Trying not to use white flour. Do you have a suggestion as to what I could use instead? Because these look marvelous!
Rebecca
Thx for the question! You could try substituting white whole wheat flour... I haven't tried it myself so I can't give you exact ratios, but I would increase the non-dairy milk by a bit, and perhaps decrease the flour amount just a tad... let us know how it goes!

These scones are absolutely gorgeous! Strawberries and chocolate are so good together 🙂
Rebecca
Thanks! Yes, you can never go wrong with chocolate and strawberries!
Wanda Scarbrough
PS...I forgot to ask, I could not find the instructions on the flax egg....do you bring it to a boil to thicken?
Rebecca
Good question, no boiling needed! Just mix the water and ground flax together, then add the other liquid ingredients and let that rest while you prep the rest of the ingredients!
Wanda Scarbrough
Just wondering Rebecca how to adjust this so the saturated fat is less? They look delicious, but we have to watch the saturated fats...????
Rebecca
These are a bit of a decadent treat! You could try subbing half the coconut oil with mashed banana and see how it goes? Let me know if you try it!
