Coconut flour is the secret to giving these gluten-free vegan scones the perfect texture. Dotted with raspberries, they're a yummy breakfast treat.

My sweet breakfast kick continues. For over a year, I was on anonstop . Next came the carrot-ey baked goods, and now we’re onto these vegan scones. Or I should say, the royal“we” are on to these scones. Jack loves them too, but my dirty secret is that he only has one or two out of every batch because I hide the extras in the freezer – where I know he will never look (well, until he reads this).
Vegan Scones Ingredients
These little treats are vegan and gluten-free. Instead of butter and cream, they’re made with coconut oil and almond milk.To make them gluten-free, I use a combination of oat flour and coconut flour.
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot ofcomments asking for more (or, um, any) recipes with coconut flour. It’s a funny flour to work with. It’s never a 1:1 replacement in baking recipes because it absorbs so much more liquid than any other kind of flour. Luckily, I found it really helps the texture of these scones. They’re dense in that way that scones should be, but not dry in thatway that scones often are.
I finish these vegan scones with baking powder to help them rise, a little sugar, and raspberries to dot them with juicy, sweet bites.
These are lightly sweet on their own, but they’re extra deliciousdrizzled with an easy almond milk glaze. I know, I know – I’ve wrecked the healthy breakfast,but I highly recommend not skipping the glaze part.
Vegan Scones Serving Suggestions
This recipe makes 2 disks that slice into 6 small-ish scones each. And as I mentioned above, they freeze extremely well. Let them thaw at room temp orpop them in the microwave for no longer than about 10 seconds. They’re great for quick, on-the-go breakfasts on busy mornings.
Otherwise, add them to a big brunch spread with a frittata, breakfast casserole, or shakshuka for something savory. If you want more sweet options, try banana pancakes, French toast, or baked oatmeal with smoothies to drink!

Author: Jeanine Donofrio
Recipe type: Breakfast, snack
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten-free whole rolled oats (or 2 cups oat flour + ½ cup for dusting)*
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons chilled coconut oil
- 1 cup cold almond milk
- ⅔ cup raspberries, sliced in half
Glaze (optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and almond milk to make the glaze. Set aside.
- Using a food processor or a blender, process the whole rolled oats into a fine flour and measure out 2 level cups. Reserve the remaining flour for dusting.
- In a large bowl, stir together the oat flour, coconut flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the chilled coconut oil using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can also use a food processor for this step, if you prefer. Add the cold almond milk and stir to incorporate.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently several times, incorporating more flour if needed. Separate the dough into two halves. Working with one half at a time, pat the dough down and place ⅓ cup of the raspberries on one side of the dough. Fold the other side of the dough over the raspberries and press gently so that some raspberries show through. Shape the dough into a 1” thick round and slice into 6 triangles. Transfer the scones to the baking sheet. Repeat with the second half of dough.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the scones from the oven and cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. When they are completely cool, drizzle with the glaze and serve.
Notes
This one is best if you make the recipe following the exact instructions. If you swap flours, etc, I can't guarantee the results, thanks!
