Vegan Lemon and Blueberry Scones (HCLF)
I recently walked past a bakery and saw that they had lemon and blueberry scones and instantly I was reminded of the best thing I have ever eaten. Upon reflection, I don't even think it was lemon and blueberry flavour, but when I was in Berlin last year I had the pleasure of going the extremely exciting grocery store called 'Veganz'. At Veganz I had a scone. This scone changed my absolute life. I don't know if it's because I'd been living on oil clad lettuce leaves for the previous two months or if it's because this scone was as good as I thought.. but it was honestly life changing. Unfortunately for me, though, this scone at the bakery wasn't vegan. It also was full of chemicals and oils and just gross stuff. I was on a mission to recreate this fond image of a scone I had and I think I did a pretty decent job.
What you'll need:
- 1.5 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 3/4 cup plant milk (I used reduced fat coconut, but almond/soy etc would work)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 cup blueberries (I used frozen, but either would work)
What you'll need to do:
- Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Combine your flour, coconut sugar and baking powder in a bowl.
- Slowly mix in your plant milk, maple syrup, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest until well combined.
- Add in your blueberries and mix together.
- Pour mixture into a non-stick circle cake tin.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to sit for about 20 minutes before serving.
- Cut into pizza-shaped pieces and enjoy!
Is Vanilla essence the same as vanilla extract?
ReplyDeleteVanilla essence is just the cheaper, less natural form of vanilla extract. They can be used interchangeably. :)
DeleteYum! These look incredible. I love scones as well and especially love topping them with a bit of coconut yogurt or coconut whipped cream - seriously to die for!
