Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Coconut oil (solid state)
- 1 tablespoon Flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water)
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Turbinado sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and granulated sugar.
Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water to make a flax egg. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like.
Add the flax egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Gently fold until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the top of each scone with turbinado sugar for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
