If there is ever a ‘treat’ that perfectly encompasses hearty, wholesome, and slightly sweet, then it’s delicious vegan scones! These walnut oat scones are hearty, wholesome, and the perfect addition to any breakfast spread.

1tablespoonof baking powder
½teaspoonof baking soda
½teaspoonof salt
½cupchopped walnuts + more for the tops
2tablespoonsof canola oil

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F; spray cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray, or parchment paper or my new favorite: a silicone pad!!
Mix together the plant-based milk and vinegar and set aside.
Combine dry ingredients and walnuts in a large bowl, mix well.
Melt the vegan butter and combine in a small bowl with the sour plant-based milk, and oil; add to dry ingredients and stir until just mixed.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to form into a ball; flatten the dough into an 8-in.-diameter circle and cut into eight wedges.
Sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the scones, place more walnuts on top
Put the wedges on a prepared cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool slightly on a cooling rack.

Notes
Chocolate chips: Use your favorite brands of dairy-free chocolate chips or chunks.
Vanilla: A little natural vanilla extract is a wonderful addition to these oat scones.
Herbs/Spices: You can also easily add extra flavor to these vegan scones with spices or even fresh herbs (like rosemary). For these walnut oat scones, I recommend cinnamon and/or ginger powder.
Dried fruit: Raisins, cranberries, cherries, and/or dried blueberries would all work (1/2-1 cup).
Citrus: Lemon or orange zest are top additions to any scone and pair wonderfully with nuts, berries, dried fruit, etc.
