Cranberry Cinnamon Scones
Nothing says fall quite like the combination of tart cranberries and warm cinnamon. These scones are easy to make and perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack with tea. The addition of hibiscus tea gives the cranberries a vibrant red color, adding a visual appeal that complements the flavors.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cranberries (soaked in hibiscus tea)
- 4 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup cold coconut oil
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp vinegar
Instructions:
- Soak the cranberries in hibiscus tea for a bright, vibrant color and a slight floral flavor. This step also softens the cranberries, making them more pleasant to bite into when baked.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, salt, coconut sugar, allspice, and cinnamon.
- Cut in the cold coconut oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Using cold oil helps create a flakier texture in the scones.
- In a separate bowl, mix coconut milk and vinegar. This creates a dairy-free buttermilk substitute, which helps the scones rise and become tender.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. It will be crumbly at first, but keep working it gently until it forms a smooth dough. Don’t overwork this dough! Just combine the ingredients until it comes together.
- Fold in your drained cranberries and combine
- Roll the dough out to 1/2 inch thick and cut into disks using a cup or biscuit cutter.
- Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of your scones. They should be golden and firm to the touch.
These scones are perfect served warm with a spread of vegan butter or your favorite jam. The tartness of the cranberries combined with the warm spices makes these a delightful fall treat.
