Servings: 12 small scones
Ingredients
- 180 grams (1½ cups)
gluten-free oat flour* - 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 120 grams (½ cup) unsweetened applesauce
- 36 grams (3 tbsp) granulated sugar
- 90 grams (6 tbsp)
walnut butter* - 1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 60 grams (½ cup)
chickpea flour* - 2 small apples diced
- 2 tbsp soy milk optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add diced apples and toss to coat.Tip: I find that mixing the apples with the dry ingredients first helps incorporate them into the dough better.
- In a separate bowl, whisk applesauce, sugar, walnut butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Add chickpea flour and whisk to get rid of any clumps of flour.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir to form a dough.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 pieces. Shape each into a disc about 1-inch thick. Cut into 6 wedges.
- Place the scones on the lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops with soy milk (optional for better browning).
- Place into the oven to bake for 13-15 minutes, until the edges are browned and crisp (increase time if necessary). Keep a close eye on them as they can burn easily towards the end.
