Preparation & Baking time: 40 mins
INGREDIENTS |
- 1 and 1/2 cups (120 g) rolled oats
- 1/4 cup (28 g) coconut flour
- 4 Medjool dates (unpitted)
- ½ cup dried blueberries
- ½ cup of dried goji berries
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 tablespoons (40 g) of organic butter or coconut oil, chilled until solid
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) iced cashew milk (or other milk)
- Pinch of cinnamon
PREPARATION |
1 Soak the Medjool dates in the cashew milk until soft.
2 Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3 Place the oats in a food processor, process into a fine flour. Add the coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; pulse to combine.
4 Cut the chilled butter or coconut oil into smaller pieces and add to the processor. Pulse until incorporated and mixture looks like slightly damp sand.
5 Drizzle in the cashew milk (with the Medjool dates), pulsing until completely combined.
6 Add the dried fruits and mix outside the food processor.
7 Turn the dough out onto cutting board very lightly dusted with coconut flour. Pat the dough together and shape into a ball. Cut dough into 6 even pieces and roll with your hands into smaller balls. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
8 Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch. Carefully transfer scones to a wire cooling rack. Serve warm or cool completely.
