Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 5 Tbsp Coconut sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 1/4 cups Full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Fresh strawberries chopped
  • 1/3 cup Sliced almonds
  • 1/3 cup Coconut butter melted

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Chef's Knife
  • Food Processor
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Stir together all ingredients for the scones in a mixing bowl until a thick dough forms.
  3. Dust some flour on a cutting board. Form a round ball out of the scone dough, then press it into a disc on the cutting board. If the dough is sticky, simply dust it with more flour and dip your hands in flour as well.
  4. Cut the disc into triangles. Note: The strawberries will want to pop out of the dough, so carefully manipulate each triangle of dough with your hands so that the strawberries stay in the scones.
  5. Place each dough triangle onto the parchment lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle each triangle with sliced almonds and gently press into the dough so that they stay put during the baking process.
  6. Bake 22 minutes, until the scones are golden-brown around the edges and are cooked through.
  7. Turn off the oven and leave scones in the warm oven for an additional 10 minutes.
  8. If you’d like to make a glaze, microwave 1/3 cup coconut butter for 20 to 30 seconds. Stir well and drizzle liberally over the scones.
  9. Serve scones warm with a drizzle of pure maple syrup (or butter and honey if you aren’t vegan) and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Keep leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also refrigerate them for longer freshness.
  • Freezing: You can freeze unbaked scone triangles on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag and bake from frozen; just add a few minutes to the baking time.
  • Pairing: These scones pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee, tea, or even a fruit smoothie for a balanced breakfast.
  • Flavor variations: Try adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm flavor or citrus zest for a refreshing twist.
  • Gluten-free option: If you’re not gluten-sensitive, feel free to use regular all-purpose flour instead of gluten-free.
