Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, solid but slightly softened
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your hands to crumble it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the mixture to slightly curdle.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each wedge.

Step 8

Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until they are lightly golden around the edges.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a drizzle of dairy-free icing or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.
