How to Make Vegan Chocolate Chip Scones

with Maple Glaze

All-purpose flour is the base of scones. I use unbleached organic flour
Sugar is used sparingly with scones. You don’t want them to be too sweet.
Baking Powder aids in leavening to scone to create a light and fluffy pastry.
Salt is used in a small amount to help bring out the flavors.
Vegan Butter is a must-have. I recommend using sticks and not whipped.
Plant milk is used to just moisten the dough to form the scones.
Potato starch binds all of the ingredients together.

Potato starch is the binder that would replace the eggs.
With the advancement of vegan butter on the market, you can make buttery scones easily.
Substitutes for chocolate chips can be currents, lemon, blueberries, cranberry-orange, apricot, poppyseed, or vanilla bean.
This recipe uses coconut milk but you can use any plant milk that you like or have on hand.

Vegan scones are light and fluffy and very versatile for different fillings you may want to use.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, kosher salt in a bowl, mix to evenly combine all of the ingredients. Cut the cold vegan butter into small pieces then cut the butter into the flour, the flour should resemble a grainy texture. The flour is being coated with the fat which help limit the gluten from forming when the liquid is added.
Next, add the chocolate chips and the coconut milk, mix together until it starts to bind and come together, do to over mix the dough.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, using an ice cream scoop, scoop the scone dough onto the sheet and lightly press down. Cook at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Place on a rack to cool before glazing.

Melt the vegan butter over low heat. Combine the maple syrup, powdered sugar, whisk to dissolve the sugar, continue to whisk as you add the vegan butter to the maple sugar mixture.
Allow to cool before glazing the scone.
