Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat white flour*
• ¼ cup coconut sugar (or dry sweetener of choice)
• zest of medium orange
• 2½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup coconut oil, frozen & grated*
• 1 cup canned lite coconut milk* (full-fat also works)
• 1 tsp pure almond extract (or vanilla)
• ¾ cup frozen cranberries, chopped
• For the glaze:
• ⅔ cup powdered sugar ( I like Woodstock, if using organic)
• 1+ TBS fresh squeezed orange juice

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F and grease scone panlightly with coconut oil. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, orange zest, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.
• Grate your ½ cup of frozen coconut oil into large bowl of dry ingredients.
• Using dough blender, work coconut oil into flour mixture until a grainy, meal texture forms.
• Pour in coconut milk, add in almond extract and gently combine, without overworking the dough. Then gently fold in chopped cranberries.
• Distribute dough evenly into mini scone pan (you should be able to fill each cavity evenly) and bake for 15-20 minutes. Check for doneness at 15 minutes by inserting toothpick in middle of scone, toothpick should come out with little to no batter. (My scones took 18 minutes.) Allow scones to cool in pan for 5 minutes.
• To make glaze, combine powdered sugar and start with 1 TBS or orange juice. Add more OJ a very small amount at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
• Transfer scones to cooling rack with baking sheet underneath. Drizzle glaze on scones, as much or as little as desired. Scones are best when served fresh.
