These Vegan Blueberry Scones will brighten any breakfast or brunch. Made with whole wheat flour, fresh blueberries and refined sugar-free!
Blueberry season is startingand I can't wait to get my hands on some morejuicy berries to make these vegan blueberry scones.
For me, scones are such a delicious Sunday morning breakfast. I love these veganblueberry scones with a fresh cup of coffee. There is something about a fresh bakedscone and a cup of steaming hot coffee that fits so nicely together. Then again, I coulddrink coffee all day with anything.
These scones are also a great alternative to a blueberry muffin. Especially for thosepeople who eat blueberry muffins almost every morning (I won't name names).
I made these scones with whole wheat flour because I think it is so important to startyour day off right with something filling and that will also help keep your blood sugarlevels in check for the remainder of the day.I've made a few other scone recipes but these blueberry scones are by far my favoriteright now. It might also just be because I am so excited to finally get my hands on somedecent blueberries.
While these vegan blueberry scones taste delicious on their own. They are SOOOOOO delicious when youdrizzle a lemon-coconut glaze over them.
Sooo Soo Yummy!! I could eat these ALL DAY!
Now, YOU can too! Enjoy the recipe ;)

Ingredients
Vegan Buttermilk
- ½of a cup120ml Unsweetened Almond Milk (or other plant-based milk of choice)
- 1tablespoonApple Cider Vinegar
Scones
- 2cups260g Whole Wheat Flour
- 3tablespoonsWhole Cane Sugaror 4 tablespoons White Sugar
- 1tablespoonBaking Powder
- ½of a teaspoon Salt
- ¾of a teaspoon Cinnamon
- 4ozor ½ of a cup113g of chilled Vegan Butter (grated or chopped)
- 1pureed Banana
- 2teaspoonsVanilla Extract
- 1cupfresh Blueberriesor frozen blueberries- See Notes
Lemon-Coconut Glaze
- 1cup100g Vegan Powdered Sugar
- 2tablespoonsmelted Coconut Oil
- 2tablespoonsfresh Lemon Juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Prepare vegan "buttermilk" by whisking together almond milk with apple cider vinegar. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Mix together all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon) in a large bowl. Add small chunks of vegan butter to bowl. Use your hands to rub butter into flour mixture, until crumbs form.
Mix "vegan buttermilk", banana, vanilla extract and add to flour mixture. Combine with a wooden spoon. Don't overdo it!
Carefully mix in blueberries.
Dough should be sticky, see notes if it is too wet. Place entire dough onto floured counter top. Form a circle out of the dough about 10 Inches in diameter.
Cut the circle into 8 even slices (the way you would cut a pizza).
Bake for 16-18 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
Prepare lemon coconut glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, coconut oil and lemon juice together. Drizzle glaze over cooled scones and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
1) Adapted from my Raspberry Chocolate Almond Scones.2.) If you want to use frozen blueberries to make these scones then allow the frozen blueberries to thaw in a sieve before adding to scone dough. 3) Dough should be slightly sticky but should be workable on floured surface. If too much extra water (i.e. from washed blueberries) is working into the dough then your dough will be wet and not sticky. If this happens, add more flour (up to ½ of a cup flour if necessary) 4)Apple cider vinegar can also be substituted with lemon juice.

I make scones pretty regularly, and typically just use regular milk, not soured milk. Such a good idea! Might have to try that next time!

Please do, Laura! I find that the vegan "buttermilk" gives the scones a lighter texture. You'll have to try it out next time ;)

Interesting! I am going to Try this tomorrow. What if I add butter instead of vegan butter? Still it will be good right?
Reply
Vanessa Croessmann says
Hi Uma, yes, you can definitely use regular butter too if you aren't vegan. Also regular milk instead of a plant based milk will work as well. Hope you get a chance to try them ;) They're such good blueberry scones :)

Thanks, Kelly! If I ate a dozen of them, you would have to roll me out of the kitchen. They are so filling! ;)

I make scones once in a week in summer with fresh berries and I am going to make some fresh strawberry scones tomorrow, I'll try this vegan version this time. I usually add regular buttermilk, thanks for sharing your recipe.

Hi Dev,
Did you end up having a chance to make these vegan blueberry scones? If so, how did you like them? I just made them this past weekend again but used coconut oil in place of the vegan butter and they were really good.

Heidi Jackson says
These look amazing! I have bananas I want to use up. Can I add more banana?
Reply
Vanessa Croessmann says
Hi Heidi, I wouldn't add more banana than the recipe calls for since the banana is acting as an egg replacement in this recipe. I have been working on some banana scones though. I'll let you know when I perfect them and post them ;)

First time baking scones. These were really good and came out pretty too! I used whole milk and replaced powder with soda and vinegar. Not sure if I overworked the dough but it still came out good with a muffin like texture. This recipe shall be saved :)
