Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Millet flour
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Tapioca starch
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Coconut sugar
- 60 grams Coconut oil (solid, not melted)
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Dried cranberries
- 50 grams Dried apricots (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine millet flour, almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Allow it to sit for a minute to curdle slightly (creating a buttermilk substitute).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently mix just until combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped apricots to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using millet flour) and gently shape it into a circle about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges (like a pizza) and transfer each wedge to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones are delicious on their own or paired with jam or a dairy-free spread.
