These Cinnamon Raisin Banana Vegan Scones are phenomenal. Hard crusted outside, soft melt in your mouth inside, spiced up with cinnamon and generous sprinkles of raisins. These scones make for a healthy snack, kickstart to your day for breakfast, or a nice sweet treat after dinner.
I’ve wanted to make scones for some time now. This is my first time trying these and I really enjoyed them. Scones definitely look tough on the outside, but they truly do melt in your mouth with every bite.
If you’ve been an avid reader of Orchids + Sweet Tea, then you know that scones haven’t been very big on our list.
These Strawberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Scones will surely bring forth some sort of brightness to your day. This recipe boasts a fresh strawberry and cream cheese filling that is wrapped together well by a flaky, buttery crust and a vanilla cinnamon glaze that will have you licking your fingers for more. It’s a sweet treat that you can get away with, without any excuses this morning.
These Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Scones are the perfect breakfast sweets to enjoy during the Fall season. Full of pumpkin spice flavor, these scones are packed with mini chocolate chips that melt in your mouth with every bite, are fluffy, balancing the right amount of sweetness. Let’s not forget that they come topped with a sweet vanilla icing and then glazed with more pumpkin spice flavor. Double win!
So, these lovelies were a nice addition to a great dinner! It was meatball and spaghetti night in our house tonight, but I chose to go completely MEATLESS this time!
Yes, you did read right. MEATLESS! Instead, I made my meatballs out of Zucchini and Eggplant and Oh my goodness, it was delicious!
Overall, the cook time was fairly easy once the eggplant baked in the oven for an hour or so. It’s definitely a dish that I’ll be trying the next time I feel like going meatless again. Yumm!
Anyway, back to these scones—it was super quick to make and while my scones aren’t a perfect triangular shape, I’m satisfied and the taste makes up for it most definitely!
Besides, I don’t always strive for perfection in my baking (at least for the most part—imperfections are perfect to me sometimes!), so I didn’t care for my scones to look “perfect”.
These Strawberry Glazed Vegan Breakfast Pop Tarts are nothing short of flaky, naturally sweet, and everything nice in one big bite. Complete homage to the classic childhood favorite, these pop tarts are packed with strawberry flavor and topped with fun rainbow sprinkles. The perfect bite for breakfast or a nice in between snack.

These Easy Vegan Pumpkin Poppyseed Pancakes are melt-in-your-mouth pancakes that are super light, fluffy, and jam-packed with Fall spices. The use of pumpkin puree helps to make these pancakes tender and paired with a warm blend of pumpkin spice, this breakfast option is a sure crowd-pleaser. Naturally sweetened and whipped together in only 25 minutes—total.
This Vegan Chia Seed Maple Banana Bread is super moist, tasty, packed with healthy nutrients including superfoods like Chia Seeds, and 100% delicious! It takes less than 10 minutes to whip together and makes for a great healthy alternative for a little sweetness in the morning for breakfast or even for dessert after dinner. All vegan ingredients, entirely kid-friendly, and a gluten-free option available.
These Homemade Vegan Apple-Cinnamon Pop Tarts are nothing short of flaky, naturally sweet, and bursting with comforting spice flavors, both inside + out and topped with a beautiful Maple frosting.

Well, it was nice to have a spiced dessert that consisted of a few least used flavors around this time of the year (Fall season equaling all things pumpkin, of course!)—bananas and raisins (especially!). They pair really nice together.
In the meantime, I made my glaze by using:
Simply mix all 3 ingredients together in a medium bowl until the consistency desired is reached, adjusting each ingredient as you go, if needed.
Let’s dig right into this recipe, shall we?
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and sea salt and whisk together until combined.
Using a pastry cutter, cut in the coconut oil into the flour mixture until everything resembles ‘peas’.
In a separate bowl, mix together the pureed banana, coconut milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and mix together until well combined. **NOTE: Do Not Over-mix!** Fold in the raisins.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into a lined with parchment paper, leaving at least 1 inch of space in between each scone.
In a medium bowl, simply mix together all 3 ingredients until the consistency desired is reached. **NOTE: If the frosting is too thick, add additional milk (1 Tsp at a time); if it’s too thin, add additional powered sugar (1 Tbsp at a time). Wallah
Remove from the oven and allow scones to cool for at least 5-10 minutes before adding glaze to the top.
Bon Appetit!

Cinnamon Raisin Banana Vegan Scones.
LOVE THIS RECIPE?
LET US KNOW!
These are so good and easy to make!!! I have been wanting to make scones but don’t have pastry flour, so I was excited to find this vegan scone recipe that didn’t need pastry flour. I didn’t have raisins either (clearly I am lacking in the ingredients and need to get groceries) so I made them without and they were still very delicious! I made these as part of my plant-based tea party and they were a hit.
Hi Andrea! I am so happy to hear that you found this recipe easy to follow and that your scones came out delicious! A tea party sounds amazing! Thanks so much for choosing my recipe! 🙂
This is an amazing recipe! It’s a big hit with all at home! However, in my second try today, I mixed up the order and added coconut oil to the liquid stuff instead of cutting into the flour to form pea like texture.. hope it won’t be a total flop …
