Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir to combine.
Gradually add the almond milk to the mixture, stirring until a thick but moist batter forms. If using, fold in the vegan chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
Using a spoon, drop heaped tablespoons of the scone batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each to allow spreading during baking.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the scones are lightly golden on top and firm to the touch.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to three days.
