Vegan Cinnamon Raisin Scones
Not only are these Vegan Cinnamon Raisin Scones vegan they are also Gluten Free!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Raisins Heaping
- 2 Cup Gluten Free Flour I used King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour.
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 2 Tbsp Pure Cane Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 6 Tbsp Vegan Margarine Use your favorite vegan margarine.
Vegan Buttermilk
- 1/2 Cup Plant Based Milk I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small sauce pan on a medium heat, add raisins to water and bring to a boil, ( this will plump up the raisins ).
- Once the raisins are plump, remove from heat, drain the water, and set aside to cool.
- Add lemon juice and the plant based milk together in a measuring cup, stir just enough to combine, set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Stir the dry ingredients together, then add the margarine and blend together with a pastry cutter or fork until the dough resembles a sandy texture.
- Pour in the vegan buttermilk and stir until everything is well combined, the dough will not stay together yet, it should be a lumpy dough.
- Next add the cooked raisins and mix in with your hands to evenly distribute through out the dough.
- Continue by lightly dusting the counter top with flour, place the dough on to the flour and knead the dough a few times until the dough stays together.
- Pat the dough down into a 1/2 inch thick circle.
- Cut the circle into triangle shapes and arrange the pieces on the parchment paper.
- Place the filled baking sheet into the oven and bake for 24 minutes.
- After 24 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven, leaving the scones on the baking sheet to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve your scone with a vegan margarine, jam or jelly, or a vegan cream cheese.
- Once the scones have cooled completely, store in a air tight container for later.
- If you would like to reheat the scones, place in a toaster oven for a few minutes before serving.
