Unbelievably Delicious Vegan Matcha Scones With Choco-Chips!

July 18, 2020

Since living in Japan it feels like something is constantly following me: scones!

And maybe it’s only because in Israel, where I am from, scones are not so common.

The Starbucks scones instantly come to mind; they always have a Matcha scone with choco-chips. However, I’ve never eaten it since it’s not vegan.

This gave me the drive to develop a recipe for vegan Matcha scones with choco-chips.

It’s absolutely addictive!

Prep time: 10 minutes

Total time: 25-30 minutes

Serving: 6 scones

Course: Breakfast/snack

Does it keep?: 3 days (however, they’re best enjoyed right away)

Ingredients

Scones

1 cup white flour
1 ½ cups oat flour + a little more for dusting
3 tsp Matcha powder
5 tbsp coconut sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup dark or white vegan choco-chips

Glazing:

¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tbsp full fat coconut milk (for thicker glaze, but any milk would work)

Instructions

Scones

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 F).
Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add all wet ingredients and mix with a spoon, when the mixture comes together use your hands to knead it into a thick dough.
If the dough is sticky, add a little more oat flour, but be careful not to add too much.
On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a circle that it is about 3-4 cm thin.
Cut the dough into equal triangles.
Place the triangles on a baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
When the scones become golden around the edges, turn off the oven and leave them there for 5 more minutes while you prepare the glaze.

Glazing

Mix together the powdered sugar and coconut milk.
Using a spoon, apply the glaze on top of the scones and wait for it to solidify.

Serve right away.

Serving suggestion: vegan butter or cream (But totally works by itself!)

Possible alternation: Instead of Matcha and choco-chips, you could add ½ cup of blueberries. In this case, you could also add crushed almonds on top of the glaze – yummy!
