Gluten-Free Apple Scones

These gluten-free scones are tender, perfectly spiced and sweetened how you like it. Use coconut sugar or brown sugar if you want a deep caramel flavour, or granulated monk fruit for a lower sugar option!

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, coconut flour, rolled oats, coconut sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, baking powder and salt together.

3. 3

   Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter to mix it in until it looks like wet clumpy sand. Stir in the chopped apples.

4. 4

   Mix together the almond milk, apple sauce and vanilla extract and add the mixture to the flour mixture.

5. 5

   Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead together gently into 2 1-inch thick rounds. Cut the rounds into six wedges each, and careful transfers to a parchment lined baking sheet about an inch apart.

6. 6

   Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.

7. 7

   Meanwhile, make the glaze. Whisk together the melted coconut butter, maple syrup and ¼ tsp cinnamon. Allow to cool slightly before drizzling over the cooled scones.
