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.
    1 ⅔ cup gluten-free oat flour, 1 cup almond flour, ½ cup coconut sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon all spice, ½ teaspoon cloves, ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • 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).
    ⅔ cup chilled coconut cream*, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 4 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 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**.
    ⅓ cup coconut butter
  • Once melted, stir in the maple syrup and drizzle on top of each scone.
    2-3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 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 tablespoon of coconut oil to help thin it out
