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
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 flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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'.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract to the vegan buttermilk mixture and stir.
Step 6
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Fold in the chopped dates evenly throughout the dough.
Step 8
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a round disk about 1-inch thick.
Step 9
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 11
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.
