Spinach and Artichoke is amazing, I feel like we can all agree upon that. This is right here is a way you can have that flavor for breakfast, or I suppose anytime. These babies taste exactly like spinach and artichoke dip, with all it’s cheesy goodness in a portable package. I toasted one and threw some vegan butter on it, holy crap!
How my brain works, and what my thought process is, is taking flavors I love that are almost never vegan and turning them into delicious plant-based treats! In the 90’s, spinach and artichoke dip became really popular. My mom would make it for every special occasion where we would have people over. She would put it in a bread bowl and use the inside of the bread for dipping purposes, it was glorious! I knew when guests were coming I could count on that happening, and I was always super pumped. It was the first thing she would set out, and I would sneak my fair share before people got there.
These savory scones are so reminiscent of my childhood favorite it is uncanny. This is a really easy one bowl recipe, that is great for a quick portable breakfast! So cheesy and delicious! If I don’t have something ready to eat in the morning, I will forget to eat. I have very busy mornings and need something to grab quickly. I made these in the evening, and had them ready for everyone in the morning. My husband made an vegan egg sandwich with one, and I was pretty jealous of it! There are many options, great for a snack or anytime. These are light, fluffy, flaky and insanely delicious! I hope you enjoy!
If you have any questions or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

Mmm do you think this woukd work well wuth a gluten free all purpose flour? Not luke they need to rise a whole lot 🤔

I do think gluten free all purpose flour would work. I like to a bit of xanthan gum when replacing any regular flour with gluten free all purpose. I haven’t tested gluten free flour for this recipe, but I do think that would work fine!

These are fantastic. So easy to throw together and so delicious. I swapped the all purpose for wheat flour and added a smidge if vegan cheddar. Definitely would make again!

I made the scones today. They are tremendous. And the house smells great too. All of your recipes I try turn out great. Thank you for creating such good, soul satisfying recipes. The only thing I added was a bit of onion powder too.
