Vegan gingerbread scones

40 min
I wanted to make a more festive version of my regular vegan scones and after a little experimenting, I came up with this delicious recipe. They are packed with Christmas spices, orange, chia seeds and pecans. I prefer to make a round and divide into triangles but you can stamp out scones using a biscuit cutter if you like. Either way, I hope you enjoy these.

- Preheat the oven to 170 C / Gas 3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Juice the orange into a measuring jug; add enough water to reach 225ml. Stir in chia seeds and treacle. Set wet mixture aside until chia seeds have expanded, about 10 minutes.
- Place flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda, nutmeg, allspice and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until just combined, about 30 seconds. Slice chilled coconut oil into 8 pieces; add to flour mixture and pulse until mixture resembles crumbs, about 30 seconds.
- Pour wet mixture into food processor and pulse briefly until the dough starts to stick together, about 1 minute. Scrape dough into large bowl. Add pecans and knead 5 or 6 turns to distribute them in the dough.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; cut into 2 equal portions. Pat or roll each portion into a 2.5cm thick round. Cut into 8 wedge-shape pieces and place on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the scones are firm and edges look dry, about 20 minutes.

I live in a small town and don't have immediate access to coconut butter. Will it still taste the same if I use just dairy butter? - 04 Jun 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
