Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Coconut sugar
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, solidified
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries (optional)

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 gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and coconut sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Add the solidified coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the coconut oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix together the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Stir the mixture and let it sit for about 2 minutes to curdle slightly, forming vegan buttermilk.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. If using, gently fold in the fresh blueberries.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disc about 1-inch thick.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife or a dough cutter, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Transfer the scone wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the scones warm or at room temperature with your favorite vegan butter or jam.
