Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 scones
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and almond milk until well combined.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Carefully fold in the chopped fresh strawberries, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape into a circular disk, approximately 1-inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the disk into 8 equal triangular wedges.
- Carefully transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Optional: Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra almond milk for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Keep your ingredients cold: For the flakiest texture, ensure your coconut oil and almond milk are chilled before mixing.
- Don't overmix the dough: Stir just until ingredients are combined to prevent tough scones.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- For extra texture, you can lightly toast the rolled oats before adding them to the mixture.
- If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 15 minutes before shaping.
- For a beautiful golden top, don't skip the optional almond milk brush before baking.
- Allow scones to cool slightly before serving to let the texture set perfectly.
