How to Make Vegan Blueberry Scones

1. Prepare the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

• flour
• sugar
• baking powder
• salt

3. Cut in the vegan butter

Add the cold cubed vegan butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Keeping the butter cold is key for creating flaky vegan scones.

4. Add the wet ingredients

Stir in the plant-based milk and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms.

Avoid overmixing—this keeps the scones tender.

5. Fold in the blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed.

If using frozen blueberries, add them straight from the freezer to prevent bleeding.

6. Shape the dough

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 1-inch thick circle.

Cut into 8 wedges like a pizza.

7. Bake

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden on top.

Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Perfect Vegan Scones

Use very cold butter - Cold butter creates steam pockets during baking, giving scones their signature flaky texture.

Don’t overmix the dough - Overworking the dough can make scones dense instead of light.

Add blueberries last - Folding them in gently prevents them from bursting and staining the dough.

Chill before baking (optional) - If your kitchen is warm, chill the shaped scones for 10 minutes before baking for extra flakiness.

Delicious Variations

Once you master this vegan blueberry scone recipe, try these variations:

Lemon blueberry scones - Add 1 tablespoon lemon zest to the dough.

Blueberry lavender scones - Add 1 teaspoon culinary lavender for a floral twist.

Blueberry white chocolate scones - Fold in vegan white chocolate chips with the blueberries.
