Healthy Scones的做法  

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
   In a high speed blender, grind the oats into a fine flour.
   Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the coconut sugar, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and lemon juice. Mix briefly to combine.

2. Soften the coconut butter by microwaving for 15-20 seconds. It should be easy to scoop out, not dry and crumbly. Add the coconut butter (or chilled banana). Use your hands to work it in until the texture is crumbly with small pebble-sized pieces.
   Add half of the non-dairy milk. Use your hands to mix/knead the dough. Add the rest of the milk slowly until you have a slightly sticky dough. Do not over work it, knead with fingertips just until combined.
   Add the frozen berries (I pulsed frozen strawberries in a blender for smaller pieces) and mix.
   Shape the dough into a circle at least 1 inch high and about 8 inches in diameter.
   Cut into 6 triangles and transfer to a baking pan lined with parchment paper.

3. Bake for approximately 15 minutes at 425F or until golden brown on the edges.
   Remove from the pan, cool briefly, and then enjoy plain or with topping/spread of choice!

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups of white whole-wheat flour
2½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
¼ cup plus one tbsp. of raw sugar
1 cup + 2 tbsp. 2% milk
¾ cup chocolate chips
1 tbsp. of melted butter
DIRECTIONS:
Pre heat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and ¼ cup of sugar.  Stir in the milk and mix just until the dough starts to come together (it will be sticky).  Add in the chocolate chips, mixing just enough to get them incorporated.

Place dough onto a floured counter top and knead briefly, just enough to bring the dough all together.  Use your hands to pat the dough down into about an 8-inch circle.

Brush the top of the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.

Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place the wedges on a rimmed baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat making sure that the scones don’t touch.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top.

Makes 8 scones.
