Vegan Wild Blueberry Scones Recipe (Panera Copycat!) (2024)

FAQs

Are the scones at Panera vegan? ›

Because our scone mix recipes are made with cream, butter, and wheat flour, our scones are not suitable for vegan or gluten conscious diets. However, we do have vegan bagel and bread options and gluten conscious cookie choices that can help round out your afternoon tea menu while meeting your dietary needs.

To Make the Scones

In a large bowl, sieve together the self-raising flour, baking powder, fine sea salt and caster sugar. Add the cubed vegan butter and rub it into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles sandy crumbs. In a measuring jug, whisk together the soy milk, vanilla extract and lemon juice.

As well as the raising agent in the flour, baking powder adds a bit of lift to scones. Baking powder is a convenient choice as it is a ready-mixed leavening agent, generally made of bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar (usually some cornflour too).

You might need a teaspoon or two more cream as its consistency is thicker than milk. Large Egg - The egg helps bind the ingredients together and increases the richness and flavour. Unsalted butter - Has to be cold to create flaky layers within the scone.

The new menu, which launched April 4 centers around a number of dishes including soups, salads, sandwiches, and macaroni and cheese. But that overhaul comes at a price. According to Eat This, Not That, Panera has discontinued more than 40 items, including the blueberry scone and three flatbreads.

Unfortunately, none of the sweet treats are vegan; however, the Steel Cut Oatmeal with Strawberries and Pecans and the fruit cup are technically part of the bakery menu, offering a naturally sweet option for those in search of breakfast before 10:30 a.m.

Oats + boiling water: this is the replacement for eggs in this scone recipe. The mixture helps bind the dough and adds extra moisture.

What are good vegan butter substitutes? In baking, you can use vegan butter, applesauce, dairy-free yogurt, coconut oil, coconut butter, olive oil, nut butter, mashed banana and mashed avocado. In cooking, you can use olive oil, coconut oil, vegetable stock, or avocado oil to replace butter.

Scone mix is far wetter than a dough – it's somewhere between a batter and a dough. Only lightly flour your work surface to avoid incorporating extra flour into the dough. Just a reminder: Don't overwork the dough or the scones will turn out rubbery – or worse, bullety and hard.

Which flour is best for scones? ›

Use all-purpose flour for a higher rising scone that holds its shape nicely, both in and out of the oven. To make more delicate, lower-rising, cake-like scones, substitute cake flour for all-purpose flour.

How to make scones rise high? Once you've cut out your scone shapes, flip them over and place upside down on the baking tray. This will help them rise evenly and counteract any 'squashing' that happened when you cut out the dough. Perfect scones should rise to about 2 inches high.

Mix the egg with three-quarters of the milk and the mustard. Pour into the flour mix and use a spoon to combine the wet and dry ingredients. Add the remaining milk, a little at a time, until the mixture comes together and forms a dough.
