Soft, fluffy vegan scones studded with fresh figs and lightly sweetened with maple syrup, finished with a smooth maple glaze for a cozy bakery-style treat.

Ingredients

7 oz (207 ml) full-fat coconut milk, divided

3 tablespoons maple syrup

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 cup cold vegan butter

3/4 cup fresh black figs, quartered

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (for glaze)

2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure out 2 teaspoons of coconut milk and reserve for brushing.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining coconut milk, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  4. Cut the cold vegan butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Add the liquid mixture and gently fold until just combined. Fold in the figs evenly.
  6. Let the sticky dough rest for 5 minutes, refrigerating if the kitchen is warm.
  7. Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and gently knead for about 2 minutes, adding flour as needed.
  8. Shape the dough into a 1 1/2-inch thick circle, cut into 8 wedges, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops with the reserved coconut milk and bake for 24–28 minutes until golden.
  10. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth, drizzle over scones, and let set before serving.

Notes

Dried figs can be substituted for fresh; chop smaller and add a splash of extra coconut milk.

Chopped walnuts or pecans add extra texture.

Scones can be made without glaze and are still delicious.

Dough can be prepared and refrigerated overnight before baking.
