Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup raisins
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, solid
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly.

Step 3

Add the raisins to the dry mixture and stir until they are well coated with the flour mixture, which helps them stay evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the solid coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the almond milk with the apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to sour slightly, creating a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.

Step 6

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture. Lightly stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender scones.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to make it more uniform. Pat it into a round disk about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.

Step 8

With a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove them from the oven and allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
