Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, solid
- 0.75 cup Almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
Add the solid coconut oil to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the coconut oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine the almond milk and vanilla extract.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the almond milk mixture. Stir gently until the dough begins to come together, but do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped fresh cranberries and orange zest until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a round, about 1 inch thick.
Use a sharp knife to cut the round into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each scone.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your dairy-free cranberry scones!
