Ingredients
- For the Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- For the Scone Dough:
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegan butter, cold and cubed
- ½ cup oat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- For the Vanilla Icing:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon oat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Filling: Combine sugar, softened vegan butter, and ground cinnamon into a smooth paste. Set aside.
- Make the Scone Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add cold, cubed vegan butter and cut it into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in oat milk and vanilla bean paste, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Shape and Layer the Dough:
- Transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and shape it into a rectangle about 2 inches tall.
- Cut the rectangle in half. Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly on one half, then place the other half on top, sealing the edges.
- Chill the Dough: Freeze the dough for 10-15 minutes while preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut and Bake:
- Slice the chilled dough into 8 squares and space them out on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until lightly browned.
- Prepare the Icing: Mix powdered sugar, oat milk, and vanilla paste until smooth.
- Glaze the Scones: Drizzle icing over cooled scones and let it set for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
- Use alternative plant-based milks like almond, soy, or coconut.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the scones tender.
