Glazed Gingerbread Scones - Two Ways

Gingerbread and scones marry together festively in this scrumptiously wonderful holiday breakfast or dessert! I’ve included the first method that results in a dark scone that has a robust gingerbread taste and the texture is more gingerbread than scone. The second method results in a more traditional scone with that great flaky texture and a subtler gingerbread flavor.

I hope everyone’s holiday season is going well. On the weekend during the wee hours we have with light, we’ve just been really enjoying our time skiing outside and all the beautiful snow. Balancing that of course with vegan hot cocoa, good books and company, and non-stop fires in the woodstove during the morning and evenings. Anyway you slice it there’s a ton of Alaska hygge happening in our home! It be cozy as heck. Happy Yuletide my dears! Do you have any special holiday traditions you’d like to share? Todd and I are trying to plan some for Oliver! To start with, baking. Lots of yummy baking!

These beautiful scones involved much recipe testing but I don’t think anyone was complaining around our house! At first, I decided that they had too much molasses and were not ‘scone-like’ enough. Settling on the second version I created which had less molasses and were more like a traditional scone, I first prefered the these but then began to actually prefer the more gingerbready ones! So, awash in uncertainty, I decided to include both recipes and let you choose which to make. #twosconerecipesarebetterthanone

Gingerbread scones are the absolute perfect thing to make this holiday season. I bet none of your guests will have ever had one AND they are great for dessert or breakfast not to mention they are oh so quick and easy and utterly delicious. The best gift of all; you’ll have more time to spend with your loved ones… while munching on gingerbread scones.

Gingerbread and scones marry together festively in this scrumptiously wonderful holiday breakfast or dessert! I’ve included the first method that results in a dark scone that has a robust gingerbread taste and the texture is more gingerbread than scone. The second method results in a more traditional scone with that great flaky texture and a subtler gingerbread flavor, see that method at the *.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups (10 oz) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp vegan granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 5 tbsp refined coconut oil, room-temperature
  • ⅓ cup molasses
  • ¼ cup + 3 tbsp vegan soy creamer
  • ¼ cup vegan powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp vegan soy creamer
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, pulse together the flour through the baking powder. Pulse in the oil, 1 tbsp at a time, until it resembles coarse cornmeal with some larger pieces. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Next, whisk together the ⅓ cup molasses and ¼ cup + 3 tbsp vegan soy creamer. Stir into the floured mixture until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky; if it’s not stir in a little more creamer. *To have a less gingerbread flavor and more scone like texture, instead use 1 tbsp of molasses and ¾ cup of vegan soy creamer.
  3. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place another baking sheet beneath the first one (this keeps the bottoms from browning).
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured workspace and pat into an 8-inch round. Cut into 8 wedges and arrange on the baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the tops are just golden brown. Allow to cool on a cooling rack until fully cooled.
  5. Once the scones are completely cool, in a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tbsp creamer until smooth; add more creamer if necessary to reach the right viscosity for drizzling. Drizzle over the scones and allow to rest until glaze has hardened. Share with loved ones.

Farfalle with Zucchini, Mushrooms, and Cherry Tomatoes

I love quick and easy dinners and this veggie packed, healthy pasta dish is a wonderful weeknight meal. Another great thing: it’s a terrific way to get a variety of nutritious vegetables into those picky eaters. My toddler actually picked out the zucchini to eat! I know your family will love this Farfalle with Zucchini, Mushrooms, and Cherry Tomatoes as much as we do.

Do you need a break from pumpkin? A temporary reprieve from smothering holiday food? Me too. Stand down stuffing and mashed potatoes; we need some tasty, fresh veggies up in here! No worries, my friend. Tender zucchini, hearty mushrooms, and fresh cherry tomatoes are here to save you from eggnog overload.

This is a wonderful meal because it’s easy, quick and really easy on the wallet. Todd and I have decided to cut back our grocery bill because it has been a little wild this past year. There are so many amazing, new vegan finds in the grocery store and while I love testing them out we need to get back to basics: more whole foods and less vegan meats, cheeses, and processed foods. I made a goal to have rice, beans, and lentils all once per week. They should all be in our diets more, and surprise, they are about as inexpensive as it gets! Of course, if I see a brand new fun vegan option I obviously have no willpower to stop myself from trying it. See my Instagram, Facebook , or Twitter to peek at what I’ve been finding here in Alaska on our store shelves.

In the next months, be on the lookout for easy, inexpensive, healthy meals posted on the blog. It’s been real busy in our household with family and friends and to be frankly honest, we are having so much fun I have a hard time finding the time needed to dedicate to posting more regularly but I am going to try! I mean, have you seen how cute Oliver is?

I love quick and easy dinners and this veggie packed, healthy pasta dish is a wonderful weeknight meal. Another great thing: it’s a terrific way to get a variety of nutritious vegetables into those picky eaters. My toddler actually picked out the zucchini to eat! I know your family will love this Farfalle with Zucchini, Mushrooms, and Cherry Tomatoes as much as we do.

Ingredients
  • 8 oz bowtie (farfalle) or penne pasta, uncooked
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter (optional)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
  • ½ pound fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ pint fresh cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 1 tsp seasoning salt or table salt
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • dash of white pepper (black pepper will work in a pinch)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • ½ cup canned coconut milk (you can use any non-dairy milk but it won't be as creamy)
  • 1 heaping tbsp tapioca starch or cornstarch
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta. Cook according to package until al dente. Reserve 2-4 tbsp of cooking water and drain. Set aside.
  2. In a large rimmed frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the garlic, zucchini, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes for about 5 minutes until the zucchini is slightly tender. Stir in the salt, thyme, pepper and green onions.
  3. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the coconut milk and tapioca starch. Add to the vegetables over medium heat; stirring continuously for about 1-2 minutes, until it’s thickened into a sauce and coats the vegetables.

My favorite meals are often a soup and that is especially true when winter rolls around here in Alaska. Ever since soup has been my jam. I remember getting a ‘soup’ cookbook from my grandma when I was below double-digits in age. #thatishowmuchilovesoup My blood is basically soup and this is one of my most beloved.

There’s a lot of recipes online for this type of soup. Basically they all involve kale, beans, and sausage… but there’s not a lot of vegan recipes, though not to worry. I got you covered. I think you’ll for sure love this soup as much as my family does. I could eat this for weeks nonstop, seriously.
