How to Prepare Sweet Potato Scones [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 400° F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine.
Mix all wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Use a whisk to combine.
Add wet ingredients to dry and stir to combine. Be gentle and don’t overmix. Use your hands if you want to. That’s how I mixed it. You will have a pretty sticky dough (kind of like biscuit dough).
Turn the dough out onto a floured table or board and knead a few times, adding more flour if it’s too sticky. Pat the dough down until it’s about 3/4” tall.
Cut the dough with a 3″ round biscuit cutter and place the rounds onto the baking tray, gathering up the scraps as you go and reshaping them to cut more (see notes).
Bake for 15 minutes.
Cool and serve!
