Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup granulated erythritol
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the chilled, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, followed by the unsweetened almond milk and granulated erythritol. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as the dough should be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Using a knife, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and carefully transfer them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden and firm to the touch.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
