Matcha Chocolate Scones

Matcha Chocolate Scones that are vegan and allergen-friendly, not to mention delicious. These scones are low in sugar, bringing out the earthy flavor of matcha while being lightly sweetened by chocolate. Serve them fresh when hot and you can store them at room temperature for 2-3 days in the refrigerator for 5 days. If stored in the refrigerator, you can reheat them in the oven at a low temperature for 5-10 minutes or in the microwave for 15 seconds.

If you are gluten-free, substitute for gluten-free flour. Try mixing with almonds as well!

Ingredients

Matcha Chocolate Scones

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 Tbs matcha powder (sweet or unsweet)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 8 Tbs cold smart balance or other vegan butter
• 1/4 cup allergen-friendly chocolate chips
• 3-4 Tbs Nondairy milk (as needed)

Icing ingredients

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 Tbs cocoa powder
• 1-2 Tbs Oat milk

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF
2. Combine the flour, salt, matcha, baking powder, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together.
3. Create a hole in the middle of the flour mix and add in the 8 Tbs of cold vegan butter.
4. Using your hands or a pastry blender, mix the wet ingredients into the dry. The dough should be semi-firm but easily shapeable and not too sticky. If the dough is very dry, add a splash of nondairy milk one tablespoon at a time as needed. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
5. Once well combined, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a log about 1 1/2 – 2 inches in height.
6. Use a pastry cutter or knife to cut out triangles along the length of the dough log.
7. Add the shaped scones to a baking sheet.
8. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, rotating and baking for 10-12 more minutes or until the scones are lightly golden.
9. If using icing, mix together those ingredients to achieve an icing that is not too liquidy. Pour over the scones after they have cooled.
10. Serve with a cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy!
