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.

Scones can be made either with self-raising flour or with plain flour and baking powder. Sweet scones and cheese scones have an egg added to enrich them. Both will rise but whatever scone you make its important that they are handled lightly and not rolled too thinly.

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).

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.

Does Panera have vegan baked goods? Panera does not offer any dairy-free pastries. However, in addition to their bagels, the chain offers a variety of vegan bread, including the beloved sourdough bread bowl.

What to use instead of eggs in scones. My favourite replacement for eggs in scone recipes is a simple mixture of boiling water and oats. The oats absorb the boiling water making a thick paste. This, when allowed to cool, can be mixed into the dough with the liquid ingredients.

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.

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.

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.

Heavy Cream or Buttermilk: For the best tasting pastries, stick with a thick liquid such as heavy cream or buttermilk. I usually use heavy cream, but if you want a slightly tangy flavor, use buttermilk.

Not sure whether to use baking soda or baking powder? You can use baking soda if you've added an acidic ingredient to the dough (e.g. buttermilk, vinegar, lemon juice). Use baking powder if you have not added anything acidic.

Even when you don't necessarily taste or see a creamy consistency, baked goods, especially scones, contain butter, milk, or cream—sometimes all three. Dairy-free baked goods are hard to come by unless you make them yourself.

Cheese Scones Step Two - Mixing

In another bowl whisk the eggs and milk together. Pour the eggs / milk mix to the dry mix and stir gently until just combined. The mix will still be very course (see corresponding picture).

Is the bread at Panera vegan? Many of the bread options at Panera are vegan! Vegan options include the classic, rustic, and whole grain sourdough breads, black pepper and sea salt focaccia breads, ciabatta, french baguette, and some of their bagels.

When it comes to soup, vegan options at Panera are limited to the Ten Vegetable Soup. It's loaded with celery, carrots, garlic. onions, poblano peppers, red and yellow peppers and spinach. The broth is a veggie stock that's seasoned with chickpeas, dried Aleppo chili, red fife and sprouted brown rice.
