Gluten Free Vegan Scones

Written by themindfulpeanut on May 6, 2023. Posted in Featured, Recipes.

For these gluten free vegan scones I utilised my favourite new kitchen tool – the air fryer! And they came out delightfully crumb-tastic and melt-in-your-mouth buttery goodness (without the real butter, of course). To make these air fryer scones even a bit more health-centric, I used a delicious vanilla oat yogurt instead of the typical heavy cream. I use Oatly brand – the vanilla yogurt goes great with these! But feel free to use any yogurt you fancy (or coconut cream for that matter!) The Silk brand Greek Coconut Yogurt would be another fabulous option. If you’re looking for a quick homemade jam that pairs well with this treat check out my Strawberry Chia Jam. While these gluten free vegan scones may not quite be the same as sitting in a high tea in London, they certainly made me feel nostalgic of my time in the UK. 🙂

Servings 4

Ingredients

160 g GF 1:1 Flour (1 1/4 cups)
1.5 T Sugar
1 t Baking Soda
Pinch Salt
33 g Cold vegan butter, cubed (2.5T)
80 ml Milk of choice (1/3c) I used almond

Instructions

Mix dry ingredients and cut in cold butter cubes. Pinching with fingertips until the mixture resembled course breadcrumbs.
Slowly add in milk, incorporating until you have a soft dough, that is not too sticky.
On floured surface, roll dough out to approximately 1" thick. With the edge of a glass, cut 4 circles out and place them on parchment in the air fryer.
Bake at 390deg for 12 minutes or until lightly golden (or bake at 400 for 15-20 min, checking often)
Enjoy with a dollop of your favourite jam and yogurt!
