Servings: 8 scones
Calories: 435kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 3 cups flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoon grated orange peel
- ½ cup chilled coconut oil
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Orange Glaze:
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 °F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a smaller bowl, mix together the non-dairy milk and orange juice and set it aside
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and orange zest. Add in the chilled coconut oil and using a fork, cut the oil into the flour mixture until a coarse meal forms.
- Mix in the chocolate chips.
- Gradually add the orange juice and milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until a moist dough forms. Add more non-dairy milk if necessary to get all the flour to combine into the dough.
- Pour the dough out onto lightly floured work surface and knead the dough briefly.
- Form the dough into 1-inch-thick round. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and then carefully pull the wedges apart and place them on your prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart from each other.
- Bake the scones until the tops of the scones are slightly golden brown, about 18-20 minutes.
- Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the orange glaze.
- To make the orange glaze, whisk together the ¾ cup of powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of orange juice. Continue adding orange juice 1 teaspoon at a time until you get a thick, yet spreadable consistency.
- Cover the top of each scone with the orange glaze until all the glaze has been used up.
- Serve immediately.
