You can use either vegan butter or coconut oil in this vegan scones recipe! It’s nice to have the ability to use either here, which is true with our vegan pie crust. (But with vegan biscuits, you absolutely must use vegan butter.) Here are a few notes on the two choices:
One note about the texture of this scones recipe. Vegan scones are slightly more caky than crumbly. If you want a perfectly crumbly scone, real butter is key. But our family absolutely loved these scones, so they’re still absolutely delicious. Just keep in mind, the texture is slightly less crumbly than a standard scone like our Blueberry Scones.
When you’re making vegan scones, or any sort of scones for that matter, chill time is key. Why? If your dough is room temperature or warm, the scones will spread in the oven. Take it from us: we’ve tested many versions of them! There’s nothing worse than opening the oven to a melty, spread-out scone. Follow the chilling instructions in the recipe below closely to get the best shaped scones. You’ll thank us later!
These vegan scones are delicious on their own. But if you’d like, you can add an easy powdered sugar icing to take them over the top! We used our favorite quick icing that comes together in 1 minute. You can keep it white, or go pink with cranberry juice like we did (we styled it as a holiday recipe). Here’s what to know:
This vegan scones recipe is a template recipe. The orange and vanilla scented base is perfect for customizing to whatever you’d like. Here are some great ways to customize it:

Last notes on this vegan scones recipe: storage! These scones are best the day of baking: let them cool to room temperature so they firm up before enjoying them. If you have some left over (which we always do), here’s how to store them:

I don’t want to confess how many times Alex and I made this blueberry scone recipe to get it perfect. Suffice it to say, we have a LOT of blueberry scones in this house as we made the final tweaks to to the method. Luckily, we don’t have to drag you through the process: we’ve come up with the perfect method! Here’s all you need to know about making a blueberry scone recipe.
With scones, an important factor is to keep the butter as cold as possible. This keeps the scone dough from spreading in the oven. For this recipe we’ve called to freeze the butter, which you’ll see in many scone recipes. You can freeze for as little as 30 minutes beforehand, or you could freeze overnight. Then you’ll grate the butter into the scone dough (it will look like shredded cheese at that point!).
Once you mix the dough together, you’ll have a crumbly dough that you’ll fold over onto itself a few times until you get the correct dough texture. Then you’ll pat the dough into a circle and cut it into 12 wedges. Brush the tops with cream, sprinkle them with turbinado sugar, and pop them in the oven to bake for about 20 minutes. In no time, your kitchen will smell amazing and you’ll have tasty, crumbly scones with tangy blueberry bursts.
Don’t take it just from us! Here’s what a few of our recipe testers had to say after tasting this blueberry scone recipe:
Now, scones are typically best the day of baking. Some people like them warm from the oven, but we prefer serving once they’ve cooled to room temperature, since they firm up a bit. As a side benefit, I eat them slower when they’re cooler, which lets me savor them versus plowing through a warm one in a few minutes!
This blueberry scones recipe keeps well at room temperature for up to 2 days, covered with a towel. You could refrigerate for up to 5 days, but we’ve found that blueberry scones become rather tough in the refrigerator. If you’d like to store them for longer, your best bet is freezing them.
To freeze these blueberry scones, cool them to room temperature, then place them in a freezer-friendly bag or container. When you’re ready to eat, leave them on the counter for a few hours or in the refrigerator overnight. If you’d like them warmed, place in a 300 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries for this blueberry scone recipe. We’ve only tested it with fresh blueberries, so please let us know if you try with frozen in the comments below. However, we’d assume they work very similarly to fresh blueberries.
If you can, try to find local blueberries at your farmers market, or pick them yourself! There’s nothing better than blueberry scones with sweet, ripe local blueberries.
