Made with wholesome rolled oats, a hint of sweet brown sugar, and aromatic cinnamon, these scones strike the perfect balance between hearty and indulgent. With a touch of maple syrup and almond milk to keep them dairy-free, they’re wonderfully tender and moist.

Quick to prepare and ready in just 35 minutes, these scones are a delightful plant-based baked good that pairs beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee. Whether enjoyed warm out of the oven or cooled with a drizzle of extra maple syrup, they’re sure to become a go-to vegan baking favorite!
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Add the cold vegan butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the scones tender.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts or raisins at this stage.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick. Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.
Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy as-is or with a dollop of vegan cream or a drizzle of extra maple syrup!
