Substitutions

1. Oat flour – you can substitute with gluten-free flour. You can also make your own oat flour by grinding oats in a blender or high speed food processor!
2. Coconut sugar – Replace with light brown sugar if desired
3. Nut milk – Use almond milk or any other dairy-free milk you prefer. If not vegan, you can also substitute dairy milk.
4. Coconut oil – swap with cold butter in a 1:1 ratio. Use dairy-free butter for a dairy free version.
5. Coconut yogurt (thick) – substitute with Greek yogurt or any thick vegan yogurt. Do not substitute with non-fat yogurt as the dough will not hold together. 
6. Pumpkin pie spice – Use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger if you don't have this on hand. The combination of these spices together will create a similar pumpkin spice flavor.

White Chocolate Glaze:

1. Vegan white chocolate chips – Swap with regular white chocolate chips or another dairy-free option.
2. Coconut oil – Use heavy cream for a thicker glaze.
3. Chopped pecans – Replace with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty crunch.

Simple Maple Glaze:

• For a simple maple glaze, mix powdered sugar with maple syrup and a splash of almond milk. Add only as much milk as needed to reach your desired glaze consistency.

Enjoy these substitutions and make these scones your own! I love how easy they are to customize with your favorite toppings and additions.
