Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter or plant-based margarine
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken and curdle, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and coconut sugar.
Add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil to the almond milk mixture. Stir to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of vegan butter or plant-based margarine to coat the surface.
Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the skillet, leaving some space between them so they can spread slightly. You may need to cook in batches.
Cook the oat drop scones for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Once cooked, transfer the scones to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft as you cook the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite vegan toppings, such as plant-based yogurt, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
