These scones have a moist but flaky texture. They’re sweet without being too much. These are great any time of the day- breakfast, dessert, or as an afternoon pick-me-up with a cup of coffee.

The secret ingredient in these scones is the non-dairy whipping cream. I was so excited to see this in the grocery store. It truly makes vegan baking easier! It’s designed for whipping, cooking, and baking. You can substitute it cup-for-cup for regular whipping cream in your recipes.

If you’ve never made scones before, don’t be intimidated! They’re very easy!

First, preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Zest 2 oranges to get 2 tablespoons worth. Stir the zest into the mixture. Pour in the vegan heavy cream and stir until combined.

Add the chocolate chunks and fold in using your hands. Shape the dough into a disc that measures approximately 1/2 wide. and place it on the baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 even sections (like a pie). Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges of the scones are lightly golden. Let cool and enjoy!
