• Easy to Make: Simple ingredients and straightforward instructions.
• Deliciously Crumbly: The perfect scone texture.
• Chocolatey Goodness: Generous amounts of chocolate chips in every bite.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup vegan butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk work well)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in the cold vegan butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The colder the butter, the better!
4. In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based milk and vanilla extract.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
8. Use a biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out the scones.
9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
11. Let the scones cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Tips for the Best Vegan Scones:

• Use cold vegan butter for a flakier texture. You can even chill the dry ingredients before adding the butter.
• Don’t overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten and will result in tough scones.
• For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top of the scones before baking.

Enjoy your warm, delicious vegan chocolate chip scones! These are best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Happy baking!
