What is nutritional yeast?
Nutritional yeast is a form of deactivated yeast, which has been adopted by vegans over the world as the perfect addition to most recipes.
Not only is it packed with additional vitamin B12, but it has a cheesy flavour, so is great for sprinkling over soups and sauces, and adding to many vegan recipes to replicate the taste of cheese.
How to serve
Try serving the scones spread with vegan butter or dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar or melt a little vegan cheese on top for an extra savoury flavour.
These scones will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container and can be reheated before serving.
