Making this recipe for Vegan Scones is a simple 4 part process.

Step #1: Mix the Flours, Sugar and Powder!

Step #2: Use a Pastry Blender to Avoid Warming Up the Dough

You want to touch the dough as little as possible to avoid warming up the dough. Using a pasty blender keeps it. Then, using a pastry blender, cut in the chilled coconut oil and mix ingredients until combined and crumbly.

Then, you’re going to add the coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon zest (if using) and lemon extract. Again, use the pastry blender, combine again until a soft dough begins to form, approximately 3-5 minutes.

Step #3: Fold in the Frozen Wild Blueberries

Fold in the frozen blueberries as best as you can to make sure they are fully integrated into the dough. Then, gently pat the dough into a large circle about 1 inch thick. Don’t forget to pre-slice the scones into 8-10 wedges pieces using an oversized knife. Sprinkle the dough with the 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar.

Step #4: Bake and Drizzle in Coconut Sugar/Almond Mixture

For a sugar glaze — combine 1/2 cup coconut sugar with 1-2 tablespoons almond milk and drizzle.

Simple enough and oh so delicious. This recipe for Vegan Scones is easy, quick and a perfect weekend dinner.

Wild Blueberries are the Best Blueberries

Small but mighty, wild blueberries have a very high total antioxidant capacity (ORAC). In fact, wild blueberries are higher than almost all of the typical fruits and vegetables you see at the grocery store.

Compared to cultivated blueberries, wild blueberries have a considerably higher ORAC value. The higher the ORAC value of a food the more powerful that food is at slowing the aging process, fighting disease, reducing inflammation and preserving health.

Why Buy Wyman’s Wild Blueberries?

Wyman’s wild blueberries are the only blueberries we trust here at Clean Cuisine. Within hours of being picked, Wyman’s sorts and cleans their wild blueberries using state-of-the-art technology. This method preserves flavor, quality and antioxidant goodness.

Why Wild Blueberries in Blueberry Scones

I stumbled on wild blueberries a few years back and have been hooked ever since. In comparison to conventional cultivated blueberries, wild blueberries pack a much bigger nutrient punch (they are loaded with antioxidants!) and their small size makes them much better for baking because they don’t fall apart.

It is pretty hard to find fresh wild blueberries though, so I suggest you go with frozen. Wyman’s frozen wild blueberries are the ones I use and they are available nationwide.

Oh! And I would definitely suggest eating your scone with black tea. There’s just something about tea that makes everything about scones better.

The Healthiest, Cleanest Baking Dish

As you know, here at Clean Cuisine we love eating clean AND using non-toxic cookware in the kitchen. We love unglazed stoneware because that’s all it is, unglazed, uncoated stoneware that is pure and clean to bake with. Our favorite baking sheet is this large bar pan from Pampered Chef.

You could also use my personal favorite is a stoneware pizza stone. It works great to spread out the scone dough into a big circle.
