Ingredients
For the Scones
- 1 2/3 cup gluten-free oat flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp all spice
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 2/3 cup chilled coconut cream*
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 4 Tbsp coconut oil (in solid state, plus more to brush on top if desired)
For the Maple Glaze
- 1/3 cup coconut butter
- 2-3 Tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
For the Scones
- In a food processor or in a large bowl with a wooden spoon, mix together the oat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, all spice, ginger, and cloves
- Pour in the chilled coconut cream, apple cider vinegar, and solid coconut oil an pulse a few times until small clumps of dough forms (about 8 - 10 times)
- Transfer the dough into a bowl and place in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 425 F
- Once chilled, roll out the dough onto a piece of parchment paper into a large circle about 1 inch in thickness. Spice into 6 triangles and space them out on the parchment paper. Brush the tops of each scone with a little extra coconut oil if desired. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes until golden brown
For the Maple Glaze
- Melt the coconut butter on the stove with a double boiler**
- Once melted, stir in the maple syrup and drizzle on top of each scone
- If desired, top with toppings like nuts, extra spices, etc. Enjoy while warm or store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days (microwave for 25 seconds to heat up)
Notes
* Note : the coconut cream should be chilled and in a solid form like peanut butter. This is best achieved by sticking a can of coconut cream/milk in the fridge for ~20 minutes beforehand
** Note : to make your own double boiler, place a small skillet with coconut butter in it on top of a pot of simmering water. Make sure the heat is on low. The indirect heat from the steaming water will melt the coconut butter. If needed, add a Tbsp of coconut oil to help thin it out
