These tender, gluten free vegan sweet orange scones are bursting with flavor! Yes, you most definitely should add them to your breakfast menu this weekend.

Yogurt was one of the things I missed most after going dairy free. Creamy yogurt, topped with granola and fresh berries. A personal fave. I’m so thankful that So Delicious Dairy Free has created their coconut milk yogurt alternative for all of us dairy free peeps. It comes in many flavors, in both the 5.3-ounce and 24-ounce containers. Fruit flavors, vanilla and plain. I love the unsweetened vanilla and plain unsweetened. I add it to muffins, quick breads, sauces, dips and smoothies. So creamy and so delicious {the name just fits}. I also adore the new packaging!

When So Delicious asked me to create a recipe using their tasty coconut milk yogurt, my decision to make scones was an easy one. I knew the yogurt would make the scones tender and light. Boy oh boy, was I right! These gluten free vegan sweet orange scones have the perfect texture and that’s all thanks to the addition of the unsweetened vanilla coconut milk yogurt.

See those little specks of orange zest in that beautiful glaze? That’s what takes these orange scones to the next level of deliciousness. Not only is there orange zest and orange juice in the glaze, it’s been added to the scones as well. There’s just no such thing as too much fresh citrus. I hope you enjoy these bright, citrusy scones as much as I do!
