Vegan Scones!

My momma used to make cranberry scones with a delicious orange/vanilla thick spread and they were always SO good! I figured I would give scones a go but try for a healthier version - completely vegan and using no refined products!

You can spread some vegan butter or jam (or both) on these! The flavors are interchangeable - so you can omit the cranberries and add in other types of fruits/flavors to make them to your liking! 

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups spelt flour (you can try other flours if you want!) 
• 1 cup coconut milk (full fat) - you can try using less and subbing for other plant milks or lite coconut milk but I am not sure how they will turn out! 
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tsp baking soda (aluminum free)
• 1/2 cup sugar of choice OR 1/2 tbsp stevia powder
• 3/4 tsp salt
• Flavors/Add Ins: I used cranberries! You can use any dried fruits, berries, apples, banana, cacao nibs or vegan choco chips, cinnamon or just plain- the possibilities are endless! 

​Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425F
2. Spray or lightly oil or lay parchment paper down on a round baking dish (you can probably use any kind of dish or pan - you'll just need to shape it properly! But I think it will turn out about the same. I used a springform cake pan! 
3. Mix all dry ingredients together in a big bowl.
4. Pour in coconut milk and vanilla.
5. Mix slowly - first with a spatula or whisk and then eventually with your hands!
6. Knead dough a little (don't over mix!) and form a ball.
7. Press dough into pan or form a circle on your flat pan etc. You'll want it to be about 1 inch high! 
8. Bake for 15-17 minutes and let it cool completely before removing from pan and cutting like a pizza - into triangle slices!
