Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, solid
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well incorporated.
- Cut the solid coconut oil into small pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the almond milk and vanilla extract.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a circular shape about 1-inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
- Carefully transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Optional: Brush the tops with additional almond milk for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your oat flour and coconut sugar accurately. Too much or too little can affect the texture of your scones.
- Cold Ingredients: Keep your coconut oil solid and cold before mixing. This helps create that flaky texture that’s characteristic of scones.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir gently until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense scones instead of light and fluffy ones.
- Cut Evenly: When cutting the dough into wedges, make sure they are evenly sized to ensure even baking. A sharp knife works best for clean cuts.
- Oven Temperature: Preheating your oven is crucial for achieving the perfect rise and golden edges. Make sure it’s at the right temperature before you pop those scones in!
- Customize Your Flavors: Feel free to add in your favorite mix-ins, like dried fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips, to make these scones uniquely yours!
- Storage Tips: Store any leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Just reheat in the oven for a few minutes to enjoy them warm!
