Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, solid
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dates, pitted and chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, mix the almond milk with apple cider vinegar and let sit for about 5 minutes to curdle, forming a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Add the vanilla extract to the vegan buttermilk mixture and stir.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped dates evenly throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a round disk about 1-inch thick.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy them warm.
