Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 1 tablespoon vegan butter or plant-based margarine

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken and curdle, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mix together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and coconut sugar.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil to the almond milk mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of vegan butter or plant-based margarine to coat the surface.

Step 6

Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the skillet, leaving some space between them so they can spread slightly. You may need to cook in batches.

Step 7

Cook the oat drop scones for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 8

Once cooked, transfer the scones to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft as you cook the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite vegan toppings, such as plant-based yogurt, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
