Easiest Vegan Chocolate Chip Scone Recipe
These vegan chocolate chip scones are guaranteed to knock your socks off. We're talkin' buttery, crispy-on-the-outside, yet oh-so-moist on the inside realness here.
Ingredients
- 2 flax eggs 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 Tablespoons water per "egg"
- 1 1/2 sticks vegan butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour + more for dusting
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup soy milk
- 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Start by putting the butter in the freezer, this is especially important if your home is warm
- Otherwise, prepare your flax eggs by whisking ground flaxseeds with water. Let sit for approximately 15 minutes, or until thickened
- In a stand mixer, incorporate the flour, sugar, and baking powder together on a low speed
- Next, cube the butter, pour into flour mixture, and mix on low until butter has become pea-sized
- Add the eggs and milk now, and again mix on low for just a moment (until the mixture has barely come together)
- Finally, add the chocolate chips and mix very quickly once again, the goal being to mix the dough as lightly as possible
- On a floured surface, pour out the mixture into a small mound
- With your hands, lightly push the outside edges together to begin forming a large ball
- Turn onto its side a couple of times to get a semi-uniform shape
- Now, with a rolling pin, roll the dough out to 3/4" - 1 inch thick.. Reshaping the outer edges as needed to keep round
- Now flour a sharp knife and separate dough into 8 equal triangle-shaped pieces
- Transfer to a baking tray and bake for 20-24 minutes
- Remove from oven once slightly golden and let cool on tray for 5 minutes
- Try not to burn yourself as you devour the deliciousness
Notes
Store these babes in a sealed container at room-temperature. That being said, they are best eaten within 48 hours, so some suggest freezing unused dough after it's cut (and obviously rather than baking). Simply toss in the oven when you're ready for it and add an extra 5 minutes or so to compensate for them being frozen.
