Blueberry Scones are no butter, no egg, no heavy cream, and no oil scones. These scones are easy to prepare, mix and bake. I have substituted heavy cream with coconut milk. Make sure you use full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream. If you are using low-fat coconut milk you will not get the soft scones. You can add any fruit of your choice or make it as a plain scone with raspberry chia jam or any fruit preserve on top.
The burst blueberry on baked goodies tastes awesome. Dried berries or lemon zest can be added for different flavors. Shape the scones the way you like round a traditional way or an easy method like pizza, shape into a big circle and cut into 6-8 wedges.

Food for the thought
Peace – it doesn’t mean to be a place where there’s no noise, trouble or hard work. It means in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. If you cannot find peace within yourself you will never find it anywhere else.

Questions/Tips
Can I use all-purpose flour?
Absolutely yes. You can replace whole wheat flour or white wheat flour too.
My scones dough are too thick and crumbly?
Some whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid. Adjust the dough to a pliable consistency by adding 1 tbsp of coconut milk at a time. Gradually add more to form a dough.
What can I use instead of coconut milk?
Traditionally cream scones are made with heavy cream. Use coconut milk to get a creamy scone.
Will the scones be too dry?
Make sure you bake it right. If overbaked the scones may feel dry.
Can I skip the blueberry?
For simple scones, do not add any fruit. For different flavors add cranberry and lemon zest to the scones.
Should I add oil to the dough?
Not necessary, if you like you can add 2 tbsp of coconut oil while combining the liquid ingredients.
Meal prep/ How to store
Stay well at room temperature for a day. If refrigerated use within 3 days. They can be stored for up to 3 months in the freezer.
