About these vegan scones

Strawberry scones have a sweet fruity flavor. The strawberries’ natural sweetness combines with the scone’s richness to create a mouth-watering treat.

Since these scones are vegan, they tend to be lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than traditional scones. Strawberries are a great source of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, making these scones a healthier option.

Ingredients for the vegan scone recipe

All-purpose flour
Sugar, I like to use cane sugar for all of my baking.
Salt, I use Kosher salt. If you use sea salt or table salt, add just a pinch
Baking powder, it is best if you use one with out aluminum.
Coconut oil, cold coconut oil, or you could substitute with vegan butter.
Strawberries, fresh strawberries cut into rounds or diced
Almond milk, don’t use thin or watery milk; for a perfect scone, you need thick milk. Use coconut or cashew milk if you need to switch.
Vanilla extract or paste.
Topping: sugar and cinnamon. Use turbinado sugar if you want a crunchier topping.

How to make vegan strawberry scones

Preheat 350° F oven and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In the bowl of a food processor, add the powders (flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder and pulse 3 to 4 times.
Add the coconut oil and pulse again. You are looking for a consistency like wet sand (little stones). If you see loose flour in the bottom of the processor bowl, press it again until everything is well integrated. If you hold the mixture between two fingers, it should stay together.
When ready, put it in a separate bowl (use a large bowl) and carefully stir the strawberries. Do it slowly, so they do not break apart.
Slowly pour the milk and vanilla when the previous mixture covers all the strawberries. Mix very slowly until the dough does not stick to the edges of the bowl and is all integrated.
Put the dough on a baking sheet and form a disk about one inch thick. With a knife, divide it into 8 pieces and separate them. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top.
Bake it for 20 minutes or so or until you put a toothpick in the center of the bread and it comes out clean. Let them cool on a wire rack.

Tips for the best vegan scones

Use cold vegan butter or coconut oil: Just like with traditional scones, using cold butter or coconut oil is essential for achieving a flaky, tender texture. Make sure to use vegan butter or coconut oil that is cold from the fridge and cut it into small pieces before adding it to the dry ingredients.
Don’t overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough and chewy scones. Mix the dough until it just comes together, being careful not to overwork it.
Use a light touch when shaping the dough: When shaping the dough, use a soft touch to avoid pressing out all the air pockets. This will help the scones rise correctly in the oven.
Bake at the right temperature: To achieve a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior, bake the scones at a high temperature (around 350°F) for a short time (around 12-15 minutes). Watch them, as they can quickly go from golden brown to overdone.

What makes it a scone?

A scone is a pastry typically made from flour, sugar, butter, or another fat, and liquid, usually milk or cream. What makes it a scone is its distinctive texture and shape.

What is the difference between an American and an English scone?

In America, a scone is a type of pastry similar to the scone found in the United Kingdom, but with a few key differences. American scones tend to be larger and sweeter than their British counterparts, and they often contain a variety of mix-ins, such as dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, or spices.
American scones are typically leavened with baking powder or baking soda rather than with yeast, and they are often glazed or topped with icing or sugar. They can be served as a breakfast pastry, snack, or dessert.
Another notable difference between American and British scones is how they are served.
In the United States, scones are often served with coffee or tea, and they may be warmed and spread with butter or jam. They are also commonly found in coffee shops and cafes, where they are a popular grab-and-go breakfast or snack option.
