A normal breakfast might mean popping a few mini vegetable quiches in your mouth while packing lunches or inhaling a homemade granola bar in one bite as you walk into your office. But these fluffy vegan scones are made for days when you can sit and enjoy your meal–not for eating at your desk. This easy recipe, baking in only 20 minutes, comes together pretty quickly. So, you won’t spend much of your free time slaving over a hot oven, yet you’ll still get a breakfast treat worthy of slowing down. Pour yourself a comforting cup of tea and enjoy these warm and sprinkled with shredded coconut and lime zest.
