Vegan Chocolate Chip Espresso Scones

A lot of scones can be very dry but not these! These Vegan Chocolate Chip Espresso Scones are fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside. These scones come together very easily but make sure you work quick so the butter doesn't melt! I highly recommend these for a nice treat with a cup of coffee mid-day.

Ingredients
 

Chocolate Chip Scones:

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour spooned and leveled
  • cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ cup Unsweetened Plant Milk
  • 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ½ cup 1 stick Vegan Butter, cold
  • cup - ½ cup Vegan Chocolate Chips

Espresso Glaze:

  • ¾ cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Espresso Powder or Instant Coffee
  • 4 teaspoons Plant Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Whisk together the all purpose flour (see above on how to measure flour properly), granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the unsweetened plant milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
  • Add the cold vegan butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter in to the flour. It should resemble coarse crumbs.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry and toss in the chocolate chips as well. Use a spatula to bring the dough to together. Lightly flour a clean surface and carefully knead the dough to bring it together. Do this fast to avoid the butter melting.
  • Roll out the dough in to a 5x9 rectangle. Cut in to 8 rectangles and place on a parchment lined baking tray.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes or until lightly brown on top. Let cool.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, espresso powder and plant milk. Drizzle over scones and enjoy!

Notes

Wrap leftovers in cling wrap and freeze. Reheat at 350F for a few minutes until no longer frozen.
