Vegan Cranberry Scones

Bursting fresh cranberries are baked inside a soft scone and then drizzled with a divine almond glaze in these vegan cranberry scones!

Ingredients:

* 2 cups all-purpose flour

* ⅔ cup cane sugar

* 2 teaspoon baking powder

* ½ teaspoon cinnamon

* ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

* ½ cup vegan butter, salted

* ¾ cup vegan yogurt

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen

For the Icing

* ½ cup powdered sugar

* 3-4 teaspoon plant milk

* ¼ teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

1️⃣ Position an oven rack to the top third of the oven and preheat it to 400°F.

2️⃣ Cut the vegan butter stick into smaller pieces or slices. Keep it in the refrigerator along with the vegan yogurt until you’re ready to use them so that they stay cold.

3️⃣ Combine the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Cut the cold butter cubes into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry cutter until it’s crumbly.

4️⃣ Mix the vanilla extract into the vegan yogurt, then add it to the bowl. Gently fold it in just until everything is moistened. Add the cranberries to the bowl and carefully stir them into the dough.

5️⃣ With floured hands, fold the dough together to make sure the ingredients are fully combined.

6️⃣ Transfer the dough to a flat, floured surface such as a cutting board. Without overworking it, form the dough into a circular disc that's 1 inch in height.

7️⃣ Place the scone disc in the freezer for 10 minutes. Line a medium-sized baking sheet with a non-stick mat or parchment paper.

8️⃣ Remove the dough from the freezer. Slice it into 8 wedges and place them 1 inch apart on the lined baking sheet.

9️⃣ Bake the scones on the top rack for 18-22 minutes. Start checking on them after about 15 minutes or so to prevent them from burning.

🔟 Make the icing by stirring together the powdered sugar, plant milk, and almond extract. Drizzle the glaze over the scones once they have cooled down and enjoy!
