Healthy vegan and gluten free scones from #freefromfairy using her wholegrain gluten free flour blend #glutenfree #vegan #scones #wholegrain #healthy #refinedsugarfree

I frequently get asked for recipes that don’t include dairy, eggs and gluten so I’m trying to create more of them.

I personally try to avoid sugar as far as possible, and when I do eat it I use a lot less and stick to the unrefined varieties. All sugar is bad for our bodies, but mine seems to react better to coconut sugar than it does to refined white cane sugar.

My original scone recipe uses margarine to keep it dairy free.

These days I am a huge advocate of avoiding margarine and processed vegetable oils.

Reading numerous articles and books on the subject of fats I found a great explanation in The Dental Diet by Dr Steven Lin. He says:

“The polyunsaturated fats in processed vegetable oils are artificially extracted through a high heat chemical process called hydrogenation.

The exposure to high heats makes them highly reactive.  They can become very unstable in our bodies, causing inflammation.

Cooking polyunsaturated fats on high heat can also turn them into partially hydrogenated fats known as trans fats.

Trans fats can further harm our cells and blood and increase the risk of heart attack.”

What are processed vegetable oils?

Margarine, canola/rapeseed oil, soybean oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil and peanut oil

These days I try to avoid these oils in my recipes and prefer to use coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil or animal fats such as lard, tallow or butter.

These saturated fats are less reactive and more stable and are critical for the delivery of fat soluble vitamins to the areas of our body that need them.

How do you make these healthy vegan scones?

My healthy vegan scones include minimal ingredients (just 4!) to create a light and delicious scone.

My wholegrain gluten free flour is the key ingredient.

If you’ve ever had trouble baking with gluten free flour then you need to read this article. It explains why the gluten free flour you use in recipes is the key to your success.

My flour is a blend of wholegrain flours.  It not only provides a source of protein and fibre but it also binds well and provides nutrients not found in other gluten free flour blends or wheat flour.

Buy the Free From Fairy's wholegrain gluten-free and rice-free flour blends on her online shop and never make an inferior bake again!

I use the self-raising version for this recipe. The double acting raising agents within it mean that the scone is lovely and light.

However, it’s equally possible to use my plain flour and add baking powder. The result is still delicious.

These healthy vegan scones are gluten free and refined sugar free and are made from just 5 ingredients. #glutenfree #dairyfree #eggfree #vegan #refinedsugarfree #scone

The trick for all gluten free scones, including these healthy vegan scones is to cut them at the depth you would like the finished scone to be. Gluten free scones don’t rise very much so if you roll them out thinly you’ll have a thin scone.

They are so simple to make. I use coconut cream to bring the dry ingredients together and you have your dough very quickly.

What do you serve with healthy vegan scones?

I serve these with whipped coconut milk and a small dollop of jam.

To whip the coconut milk you need a chilled tin of coconut milk (ideally chilled overnight in the fridge, but if not for around 30 minutes in the freezer).

Tip off the liquid part of the tin, leaving the solid coconut milk at the bottom.

Place the solid coconut milk in a bowl and whisk until light and fluffy.

If you fancy you could add some vanilla extract to flavour it.

Use that in place of clotted cream and don’t forget the jam.

Alternatively why not make your very own vegan clotted cream? Glutarama has a recipe right here that you might like to check out.

If you like the sound of this recipe get a copy of my free recipe ebook by entering your details below.

In it you’ll find recipes for gluten free pastry, bread, pizza, Yorkshire puddings, Victoria sponge, pancakes and gingerbread.

What equipment do you need to make healthy vegan scones?

I use a food processor to make this scone recipe. It makes it so easy. You add all the ingredients and combine until you have a dough.

In addition to that you’ll need a good quality baking tray and some cutters.

Always use smooth sided cutters for making scones. It helps them to rise more evenly.

    Hi there,

    Is it okay to add sultanas to the recipe?

    Thank you!

      Absolutely! Add whatever takes your fancy 🙂

    Hi
    I made these which were fantastic as I wanted a low calorie scone and 100 calories sounded great.
    However, am I getting the calories wrong as I get around 180.

    Is it 370 per 100g making it around 852 calories?
    Then the sugar around 80 and coconut milk around 125 and xanthan gum around 25 calories. Then divide by 6.

    Am I getting the flour calories wrong. ???
    Just checking as I always put my daily calories in.
    I would still eat as they came out perfect but don’t want to under calculate. Thanks.

      I’m not sure what you are doing but I have a programme that works this out for me and it comes out as 100 calories per scone (if the recipe is divided into 6).

        That’s great. What program do you use. They are fantastic.

          It’s one that I added to my website that is designed for food blogs.

    Thanks for the inspiration recipe. I had to alter it slightly, but it worked out fine. I used rice milk for a fat free version, 180 grams rice flour and 50 grams of tapioca flour as I didn’t have psyllium husk powder. I baked them in my cup cake silicone mould. They turned out absolutely lovely and were easy to get out of the silicone mould.

      I cant make a recipe that gives european measurements im 60 years old im not going to relearn someone elses measuring system

        I find it so sad when I receive messages like this. If you go to the recipe you’ll find a button at the bottom of the ingredients where you can change the measurements from metric to US. A little kindness in the world goes a long way…perhaps something to remember when leaving messages.
