These Vegan Soft Strawberry Scones are soft and moist. They are as satisfying as any scone baked with butter, regular sugar, or milk/cream. They have fresh strawberries in them and only a tablespoon of coconut sugar. They are completely dairy-free, using coconut oil instead of butter and unsweetened coconut milk instead of cream or milk.
Hi Everyone, when I think of the word "scone", I think of a crumbly, dry, stale, bread-like baked good sparsely dotted with shriveled inedible raisins.
These strawberry soft scones are exactly the opposite of that; they are soft and moist.
They are as satisfying as any scone baked with butter, regular sugar, or milk/cream.
They have fresh strawberries in them and only a tablespoon of coconut sugar.
They are completely dairy-free, using coconut oil instead of butter and unsweetened coconut milk instead of cream or milk.
I like these drizzled with a generous amount of Coconut Caramel Sauce.
We have a whole tutorial recipe post on how to make your own pure vanilla extract.
Flaxseeds must be ground to get the full health benefits they offer like wonderful Omega3s and fiber.
I recommend Hodgson Mill Milled Flaxseed; I always keep a box of it in the refrigerator and sprinkle it on Greek yogurt, add it to bread that I bake, and sneak it into anything else I happen to be making.
For when I do grind whole flaxseeds fresh, I used Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Flaxseed and this humble grinder.
When grinding flaxseeds fresh, remember, that they can go rancid fairly quickly if they are left out, so either refrigerate them or use them right after grinding.
View my tutorial on how to prepare a flaxseed "egg" here.
I love coconut milk.
It's rich and creamy and I can use it for so many things.
I find it nourishing and energizing.
I am addicted to the stuff.
I do like to sample a variety of brands but I have been loving So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk (the green container!) and I get it at my grocery store in the refrigerated milk aisle.
I have tried the unsweetened vanilla flavor (the purple container) and it is also very good for drinking but for baking, I would stick to the unsweetened plain one so as not to throw off the other ingredients.
You can also just use canned coconut milk which would work just fine in this recipe too.
It's unrefined and a nice alternative to refined granulated white sugar.
If you have never had it before, it's similar to brown sugar but definitely has a flavor all its own.
I have been using Madhava Coconut Sugar with success in my baking and an example of this is here.
In case you are interested, we have recipe tutorials on how to make dark and light brown sugar on the blog.
Try substituting the strawberries for another type of berry or a mix of two or more types, I have tried raspberries and blackberries and had wonderful results with them.
This Soft Strawberry Scones recipe works also using butter instead of coconut oil, sugar instead of coconut sugar, eggs instead of flax eggs, and milk/cream instead of coconut milk in the same amounts.
Soft Strawberry Scones is inspired by, "Scones," p. 128, in the "Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book," Special Edition, 2007.

To Make the scones sweeter: Add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut sugar in addition to what's on the ingredient list
To make the Coconut Caramel Sauce without using heat: You can use 3 tablespoons of coconut milk to ½ of coconut sugar (¼ cup coconut sugar total)
To make 1 flaxseed egg: 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, plus 2.5 tablespoons water, stir and let stand for 5 mins until thickened. Check out our post: How to Make a Flaxseed Egg
