    Easy Vegan Scones are comfort food and these are made with dates and maple syrup which equals deep rich flavors. It's a vegan scones recipe that's tender and moist inside and they will melt in your mouth. Tasty and perfect!

    A white bowl is holding at least 10 round biscuits with a mini footed glass holding chia seeds behind. All are against white backgrounds.

    My name in Ginny McMeans and I am a carboholic. It started in my early years. In grade school even. A pile of spicy Spanish rice, chili beans poured over a toasted bun, big chunks of crusty sourdough bread, sweet squares of cornbread.

    My head is spinning. I can go on and on.

    Fortunately or unfortunately, it wasn't until I was older that I found scones in a restaurant. After that, I was on the lookout.

    You could eat them with a fork or with your hands. They could be smeared with jam or have nothing at all.

    Come to the dark side and add some carbs to your day. You have to have them. They are good for you. They help you sleep.

    Slip some in between your proteins and fats and, please, don't forget your Date Maple Scones.

    🥘 Ingredients

    • Egg substitute - of your choice - I use a chia egg - *see below
    • Whole wheat flour - adds fiber and nutrients to the main base of these scones.
    • Baking powder - is a leavening agent.
    • Dairy-free butter - adds needed liquid and a buttery taste.
    • Dairy-free milk - adds flavor and necessary liquid.
    • Maple syrup - that healthy sweetener that we all love.
    • Dates - are a wonderful sweetener and they add a nice texture too.

    💭 How do you make a chia egg

    • A chia egg is actually made with chia seed meal/flour not the bare seed.
    • You can use the seed but it takes longer for the seed to break down to be the texture that you want.
    • The way you make meal/flour is by grinding the chia seed in a processor such as one for your coffee beans or a spice grinder.
    • I use mine to strictly grind seeds so that I don't mix flavors. Grind until it is a fine meal.
    • I do about 4 ounces at a time and keep it in a little freezer safe canning jar - in the freezer.
    • When I need a tablespoon or so it is all ready to go.
    • Lately, I saw small packages of ground chia seed in the grocery store. What a nice convenience. It is a little more expensive though.

    🔪 Instructions

    • 1 tablespoon chia seed meal and 3 tablespoons water makes one 'egg'
    • Mix the egg substitute of your choice and set aside.
    • Lightly oil a baking sheet, I used coconut oil but then again you can use the one you like.
    • In a large bowl add the flour and baking soda.
    • In a small bowl add the melted but cooled non-dairy butter, non-dairy milk, maple syrup and the prepared egg substitute.
    • Pour the liquid mixture into the flour and mix until just blended. Do not over-mix.
    • Fold in the dates.
    • Divide the dough into 16 parts. Roll each into a loose ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Press down, slightly.
    • Bake at 400° for 12 to 14 minutes.
    • The rounds will be rustic in looks.
    • You can certainly make the dough in the traditional round and cut it into wedges as in this photo below.
    Chipotle Breads are ready to bake and the dough round has been cut into 6 triangles.

    This photo was actually taken of the Chipotle Scones that I have on the blog. They are so good too and very versatile.

    If you take a photo of your sweetened easy vegan scones recipe I would love to see it. Follow me over on Instagram and tag me on your photo @vegan_in_the_freezer.
