Description
Soft, fluffy vegan scones studded with fresh figs and lightly sweetened with maple syrup, finished with a smooth maple glaze for a cozy bakery-style treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 7 oz (207 ml) full-fat coconut milk, divided
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup cold vegan butter
- 3/4 cup fresh black figs, quartered
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure out 2 teaspoons of coconut milk and reserve for brushing.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining coconut milk, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
- Cut the cold vegan butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the liquid mixture and gently fold until just combined. Fold in the figs evenly.
- Let the sticky dough rest for 5 minutes, refrigerating if the kitchen is warm.
- Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and gently knead for about 2 minutes, adding flour as needed.
- Shape the dough into a 1 1/2-inch thick circle, cut into 8 wedges, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the reserved coconut milk and bake for 24–28 minutes until golden.
- Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth, drizzle over scones, and let set before serving.
Notes
- Store scones in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a richer flavor, use dark maple syrup.
