Vegan Walnut Oat Scones
Vegan Walnut Oat Scones combine rolled oats, whole wheat and all-purpose flours, sugar, baking powder, and chopped walnuts for a hearty dough enriched with plant-based milk, vinegar, vegan butter, and oil. The scones have a tender crumb with a slightly crunchy sugar topping and nutty walnut pieces. Baking at a high temperature creates lightly browned, golden wedges with a satisfying balance of textures and mild sweetness.

Notes
- Adding natural vanilla extract enhances the aroma of the scones.
- Spices like cinnamon or ginger powder complement the walnuts and oats well.
- Dried fruits such as raisins, cranberries, cherries, or blueberries can be added for extra flavor (½ to 1 cup).
- Lemon or orange zest brightens the flavor and pairs nicely with nuts and dried fruit.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips or chunks to add a chocolate twist while keeping it vegan.
