Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups coconut oil, solid (not melted)
- 0.75 cups dried apricots, chopped
- 0.75 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 zest zest of one orange
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the solid coconut oil into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped dried apricots and orange zest until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until a dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times to bring it together.
Shape the dough into a 1-inch thick round disk. Cut the disk into 8 wedges and transfer each piece onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
