Really Good Vegan Raisin Scones
What you need:
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
1/4 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup raisins
3/4-1 cup nondairy milk
What you do:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in margarine until crumbles form.
2. Stir in milk and raisins. Drop a spoonful (or make them into cute shapes, like the hearts I made this morning) onto an ungreased baking sheet.
3. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until just brown on top.
Source of recipe: I adapted these from a biscuit recipe on this website; I am sure one could play with the spices/ flavorings here. Please let me know how they turn out!

SO HOW'D IT GO?
My first attempt at scones... And they were awesome! I added in raisins, cranberries, sliced almonds, used 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 white flour, and sprinkled the tops with turbinado sugar before popping them into the oven. I would totally make these again! They were warm and soft when they came out of the oven but great the next day with a crispy outside too... Go make these now! :D
i made these for my family today. i used choco chips instead of raisins cause i was scared they wouldnt be good. i dont know if ive ever had a scone before. they are kinda boring. in between a biscuit and a cookie, especially with chocolate. my fam said they were very good and didnt question their ingredients. they were very simple to make. i used 3/4 C vanilla soymilk and the batter was plenty wet enough. i wonder if they need so much baking powder as they dont rise very much anyway. oh i also sprinkled some turbinado on top of each of one to make it pretty. i spooned out small blobs and got 16. simple and good for potlucks in the morning.
These are really great! I halved the recipe and made them with Sugar Lite, and they turned out tasty (especially with honey).
I had never made scones before and they still turned out great. I added 1/2 cup walnuts, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 more Tbs sugar, 2 tsps cinnamon, and used golden raisins. And I actually used half garbanzo bean flour...not exactly on purpose, but I was out of whole wheat. If you like grabanzo bean flour, give it a try, but I will probably stick with white and whole wheat next time. Definitely throw in any extra ingredients you like, anything will work well with this recipe.
I made these again, trying my idea to break the batch and make different flavors at once. I broke it up into 5 portions, making them with the following flavors:
- cinnamon (1tsp cinnamon)
- cranberry (2 tbsp dried cranberries)
- chocolate (2 tsp cocoa powder)
- coconut (1/4 cup shredded coconut)
- poppy seed (1-2 tbsp poppy seeds and 1 tbsp sugar)
Each flavor made two small scones (I shaped them in triangles this time which makes them look nice).
As usual, I made this with 3/4 cup plain (WildWood) soy yogurt with water added to make a cup and 1 tsp vanilla extract stirred in. I didn't have margarine this time so I added an extra 1/4 tsp salt and used palm fat shortening instead. I also used 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour.
I haven't tried all the flavors but the coconut is excellent!
Really good recipe. It's a good basic recipe that you can do lots with. I made them this evening for a little snack with some tea. I had a craving for something laden with carbs (not into that whole low carb thing). They turned out well. I did sprinkle a dash of demerra sugar on top of each before baking for a little extra treat.
***I don't know if the other review made it or not, so I'll do it here. I added cinnamon, vanilla, cranberries, and vegan carob chips. Delicious!! Also, this recipe can be made using 1/3 cup applesauce in place of the margarine. If you do this, you'll need to add about 1/4 cup more soy milk for moisture. Fantastic recipe!! I will be using this often. My photo is included.
These are wonderful! I didn't have soymilk at home so I used some leftover soy yogurt thinned with a little water. I also used cranberries instead of raisins because I don't like raisins. I added some coconut flakes that went really well with the cranberries. I also added a tsp of vanilla extract in the dough. My scones got a little big (it made 6 scones instead of 8 to 10) so I added a couple of minutes to the baking time.
This is a keeper! One of the best scone recipes I've ever tried. I made them with cranberries & orange zest. Perfect recipe! Thank you!
this is one of my favorite breakfasts on this site. i've made these scones about 5 times, and i always use half w/w flour, half white. halfing this recipe works well! for a nice variation, i add a tablespoon of cinnamon and half a cup of cinnamon chips (instead of raisins). mmm!
