Whether you're cooking for a special diet or simply craving a nutritious spin on an old favorite, this recipe is your go-to for simplicity and flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently until you achieve a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the scones tough.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a teaspoon of coconut oil.
Once the pan is hot, drop scoops of batter onto the pan, using approximately 2 tablespoons of batter for each scone. Use the back of a spoon to gently flatten them slightly, if necessary.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the scones carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked scones to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed.
Serve the scones warm with your choice of topping, such as dairy-free yogurt, fresh fruit, or additional maple syrup.
