Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold vegan butter, cubed
  • 1 cup fresh apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 egg substitute
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural), ground cinnamon (natural), and granulated sugar. Whisk thoroughly to evenly distribute all the ingredients and break up any clumps for a smooth, airy mix.
  2. Cut in the Vegan Butter: Take the cold vegan butter and cut it into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, quickly incorporate the butter into the dry mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. This is key to creating those signature flaky layers.
  3. Add Apples and Wet Ingredients: Fold in the fresh chopped apples gently to prevent breaking the chunks. Then mix plant-based yogurt, vanilla extract (natural), plant-based milk, and your egg substitute in a separate bowl. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep scones tender.
  4. Shape and Cut the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, lightly knead just to bring it together, then pat it into a round disc about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut into equal wedges or use a cookie cutter for fun shapes.
  5. Bake and Cool: Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush tops lightly with plant-based milk and sprinkle a little sugar for a slight crunch. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold: Cold vegan butter and chilled liquids help create flaky layers.
  • Don’t overmix dough: Mix just until ingredients come together to avoid dense scones.
  • Choose the right apple: Firm varieties like Fuji or Granny Smith hold shape and add refreshing tartness.
  • Cut scones evenly: Uniform sizes ensure even baking and a consistent crumb.
  • Experiment with spices: Adjust cinnamon and add warming spices for personalized flavor layers.
