Ingredients for Your Raw Vegan Pineapple Scones

3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup non-dairy milk (e.g., almond or soy)
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons coconut oil, solidified in the fridge
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can (approx. 15 oz) crushed pineapple, well-drained
Cooking spray or olive oil
1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
2 tablespoons sliced raw almonds
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Crafting Your Raw Vegan Pineapple Scones

Preheat your oven to 425°F (approximately 218°C).
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This incorporates all ingredients thoroughly.
Combine lemon juice and non-dairy milk in another container until they begin to curdle slightly – this creates your raw vegan dough base.
Add maple syrup gradually to the curdled mixture once it reaches a consistency similar to sour cream.
Cut solidified coconut oil into small cubes. Incorporate these carefully into the dry ingredients without fully melting them, as they should remain solid until baking.
Gradually add the milk-syrup mixture and vanilla extract while incorporating the crushed pineapple until all components are smoothly integrated.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface or bench scraper. Gently form it into a cohesive ball for rolling out, ensuring minimal gluten development by avoiding overworking.
Pick up one end of the dough (away from you) and fold it down onto itself; flatten slightly with your hand before folding again left-to-right to create three layers.
Using a lightly floured surface or bench scraper helps maintain control during this process. Roll out until approximately 2 inches thick, then proceed as described in step six of the original text for cutting into scones.
Create uniform circles using a glass dipped in flour (or cut triangles with a knife), placing them seam-side up on parchment-lined baking sheets. Continue folding and rolling remaining dough to achieve between eight and ten total scones.
Brush tops lightly with cooking spray or olive oil, then sprinkle coconut sugar for enhanced sweetness before adding sliced almonds and rosemary as finishing touches.
Bake at 425°F (approximately 218°C) for about ten minutes until golden brown around the edges. Rotate halfway through if necessary to ensure even baking.
Transfer baked scones carefully to a wire rack using oven mitts, allowing them to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy their texture and flavor while they are still warm or allow cooling completely for room temperature enjoyment.

Notes on Preparation

The folding technique helps develop gluten structure slowly without kneading, contributing to tender scones with defined shape rather than a tough crumb. Ensure the coconut oil remains solidified during mixing and rolling for proper texture.
