Easy Vegan Chocolate Chunk Orange Scones
Vegan Chocolate Chunk Orange Scones- a moist and flakey treat flavored with zesty orange and rich chocolate.
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.
