Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until combined.
Add the solid coconut oil to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse crumb texture.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the almond milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Let it sit for a minute to curdle slightly and become buttermilk-like.
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the dough, being cautious to avoid smashing them.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times to bring it together. Then, pat it into a roughly 1-inch thick circle.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
