Ingredients

  • 2 cups all -purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon sal t
  • 1/2 cup cold vegan butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup finely grated carrots, moisture squeezed out
  • 1/3 cup cold full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon plant milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Cut the cold vegan butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  • Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the cold coconut milk and vanilla extract. Stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough just begins to form.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a circle approximately 1 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.
  • Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 even wedges.
  • Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each scone.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are firm and the bottoms are lightly golden brown.
  • Allow scones to cool on a wire rack. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of plant milk to create a thick glaze. Drizzle over cooled scones before serving.
