Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (natural)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1/2 cup plain plant-based yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (such as pectin or agar)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon (natural), and nutmeg (natural). Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agent throughout the mixture.
  2. Incorporate the Plant-Based Butter: Cut the chilled plant-based butter into small cubes. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is essential to create a flaky and tender scone texture.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together maple syrup (natural), plain plant-based yogurt, vanilla extract (natural), and the natural gelling agent until combined. This mixture adds moisture, sweetness, and structural integrity to the dough.
  4. Bring the Dough Together: Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the scones light and airy.
  5. Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a round shape about 1 inch thick. Cut the round into 8 wedges and place them on a lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Keep plant-based butter cold to create perfect flaky layers.
  • Gently fold dough to avoid dense, heavy scones.
  • Measure flour using the spoon-and-level method to prevent dryness or toughness.
  • Use fresh ground cinnamon and nutmeg (natural) for the best flavor.
  • For extra shine and sweetness, lightly brush warm scones with maple syrup (natural) glaze before serving.
