Families will delight in indulging these scrumptious, wholesome cranberry scones, perfectly seasoned with warm cinnamon and the subtle brightness of grated orange peel.
With the dough prepared the evening prior, a speedy 15-minute transformation yields a batch of freshly baked, still-warm scones come morning. While the dough is best consumed within 24 hours of preparation, it’s essential to note that storing it beyond a single day in the refrigerator can negatively impact its quality and freshness.
Scones offer a versatility that makes them a delight to work with, and their ease of preparation is simply unmatched. While cranberries can be swapped out for other seasonal berries like blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries,

- 1 cup oat flour, made from 100% natural rolled oats.
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (either store-bought or homemade)
- Savor high-quality cups of natural soy or Greek-style soy yogurt.
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, sliced and prepared for use in recipes.
Cranberries and scones in harmony – a match made in heaven! To prepare these delightful vegan treats, start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Preheat oven to 410°F.
- Preheat your oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for effortless cleanup and food release.
- Process approximately 1 1/2 cups of rolled oats in a small blender or NutriBullet until finely pulverized, yielding a smooth powder that can be measured to precisely one cup of oat flour. Store any remaining oat flour in an airtight container to preserve its freshness and extend its shelf life; properly stored, it can remain usable for up to three months. Combining the oat flour, whole wheat flour, and remaining dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, whisk together with a fork until well incorporated. Set aside.
- Combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl, using a whisk or mixing by hand to fully incorporate. Combine the wet and dry ingredients using a fork or wooden spoon, mixing by hand until just incorporated. The mixture now features a delightful juxtaposition of sweet and tangy flavors with the added cranberries, blending seamlessly into the creamy whipped cream. That’s normal; the mixture will feel and appear sticky.
- Whether storing for later use or baking immediately, at this stage, you may keep the dough in an airtight container within the refrigerator, awaiting your readiness to create another batch of scones or proceed directly to baking. Working with chilled dough can significantly simplify the process of handling and shaping, as its firmer texture makes it more manageable and less prone to tearing or stretching. The dough remains fresh for up to one day when refrigerated; nonetheless, its flavor and texture truly shine when freshly prepared.
- Roll approximately one tablespoon of dough into a smooth ball using your fingers or the back of a spoon, taking care to form a rounded shape. That’s okay, they’re scones? Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced approximately 2 inches apart to accommodate expansion during oven time.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and bake on the middle rack for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the desired level of golden brown is achieved. After allowing the scones to rest undisturbed on the baking sheet for two minutes, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool efficiently.
