Vegan Raisin Scones with Brandy

Today's blog post is a vegan double trouble fun! When I think of scones, I imagine myself sitting at an outside garden area by the patio, drinking coffee while reading a book as I eat my delicious scones. Not only that but I like my scones soft, yet crunchy on the outside. These scones are EXACTLY like what I just described. The inside is so soft and fluffy. In fact, this is one of my favorite vegan recipes! The reason why I decided to post both of these recipes is because these recipes are pretty much identical. The only difference is that one has raisins vs. chocolate chips. One has brandy inside, one does not. I think it's amazing how I can change a small part of a recipe and something different can be created! Even though the type of food is the same, it's definitely not an identical.

Many people don't believe me when I say that these scones are vegan! I think many people around me assume that vegan baking doesn't taste good. But, I want to break that lie and show everyone that vegan baking can be delicious :) I assure you, that this recipe is a lot healthier than other processed vegan baking that you see at grocery stores ;) I hope you find this recipe "sweet" as much as I think it is!
