Why Use Hemp Protein in Vegan Scones?

Most scone recipes depend heavily on eggs and dairy to provide structure and protein. But in this plant-based version, we replace traditional protein sources with CBD Armour Hemp Protein, a clean, organic, and nutrient-rich ingredient.

Benefits of Hemp Protein

✔ Complete plant-based protein (includes all essential amino acids)
✔ Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
✔ High in dietary fiber for digestive health
✔ Contains magnesium, iron, zinc, and antioxidants
✔ Naturally gluten-free and vegan
✔ Great for energy, muscle recovery, and daily nutrition

Hemp protein blends seamlessly into baked goods, enhancing both flavor and nutritional value. It adds a slight nutty aroma, pairs beautifully with almond flour, and keeps your scones soft yet hearty.

If you’re trying to incorporate more plant-based protein into your diet—or simply love healthy baked treats—this recipe is the perfect addition to your kitchen repertoire.

Full Ingredient List (Makes 8 Scones)

Dry Ingredients

• 3 cups almond flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• ½ tsp Himalayan pink salt

• 1 tbsp hemp protein powder

Wet Ingredients

• ⅓ cup coconut oil (solid, not melted)

• ⅓ cup maple syrup

• 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)

• ⅓ cup applesauce

• 1 teaspoon almond oil

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

How to Make Hemp Protein Almond Scones – Step-by-Step

These vegan scones are easy to make, require no special equipment, and take only about 30 minutes from start to finish.

Step 1 – Prepare Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (approximately 392°F).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2 – Mix All Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

• Almond flour

• Baking powder

• Baking soda

• Cinnamon

• Hemp protein

• Himalayan salt

Use a fork or whisk to evenly distribute everything.

Step 3 – Add the Wet Ingredients

Add the following into the bowl:

• Solid coconut oil

• Maple syrup

• Prepared flax egg

• Applesauce

• Almond oil

• Vanilla extract

Using your hands is strongly recommended—it warms the coconut oil slightly, helping it blend more easily and creating a perfect dough texture.

Keep mixing until the dough becomes thick, cohesive, and slightly sticky.

Step 4 – Shape Your Scones

Lightly flour a flat surface with almond flour.
Place the dough onto the counter and gently form it into a round disc about 1 inch thick.

Use a knife to cut the dough into 8 triangular slices, just like slicing a pizza.

Step 5 – Bake the Scones

Transfer each slice to your baking tray, leaving a little space between them.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool slightly before serving.
