Ingredients
- ½ cup of plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon of vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of vegan butter
- 1 ¾ cup of rolled oats
- ¾ of all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup of whole-wheat flour or sub for all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ cup chopped walnuts + more for the tops
- 2 tablespoons of Canola Oil
- ¼ cup of brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F; spray cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray, or parchment paper or my new favorite: a silicone pad!!
- Mix together the plant-based milk and vinegar and set aside.
- Combine dry ingredients and walnuts in a large bowl, mix well.
- Melt the vegan butter and combine in a small bowl with the sour plant-based milk, and oil; add to dry ingredients and stir until just mixed.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to form into a ball; flatten the dough into an 8-in.-diameter circle and cut into eight wedges.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the scones, place more walnuts on top
- Put the wedges on a prepared cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool slightly on a cooling rack.

Notes
- Chocolate chips: Use your favorite brands of dairy-free chocolate chips or chunks.
- Vanilla: A little natural vanilla extract is a wonderful addition to these oat scones.
- Herbs/Spices: You can also easily add extra flavor to these vegan scones with spices or even fresh herbs (like rosemary). For these walnut oat scones, I recommend cinnamon and/or ginger powder.
- Dried fruit: Raisins, cranberries, cherries, and/or dried blueberries would all work (1/2-1 cup).
- Citrus: Lemon or orange zest are top additions to any scone and pair wonderfully with nuts, berries, dried fruit, etc.
