Cranberry Walnut Scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour (lightly packed)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut or date sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flax meal
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/3 cup cranberries, dried
  • 2/3 cup soy milk
  • 1/3 cup grape seed or canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

    1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
    2: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, flax meal, walnuts, and dried cranberries in a mixing bowl.
    3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy milk, oil and vanilla.
    4: Using a fork, mix the liquid mixture into the dry mixture.
    5: Once the dry ingredients are completely mixed in, form a ball.
    6: Gently flatten the dough into a 7 inch circle on the baking sheet.
    7: Using a knife, score the dough into 8 wedges. Do not separate the wedges.
    8: Bake 20 - 22 minutes or until golden brown.
    9: Serve warm.

Notes

You can use any granulated sugar in place of the coconut or date sugar.
I recommend using organic flour and aluminum free baking powder when you can.
Flax meal is the same as ground or milled flaxseed.
You can use whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry in place of the white whole wheat flour. If you use these flours the scones will be a bit denser and not as sweet.

  3. Wash the apples. Quarter and cut out the core.
  4. Chop apples on low speed in the blender or by hand.
  5. Combine ingredients in a bowl. Let stand for a few minutes so the mixture can absorb the moisture.
  6. Mix mixture together firmly with fingers or a fork.
  7. Spoon mixture into muffin pans. Fill and round nicely.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes or until muffins start to brown.

Notes

The eggs help the ingredients stick together. You can leave the eggs out and these muffins will still be delicious!

If the raisins are extra dry, soak them in cold water for at least 10 minutes. Then drain the water and add them to the recipe as instructed.

You can add more or less nuts and dried fruit as desired.

If you don’t have cooking spray you can wipe the muffin tin with vegetable oil.
Use rolled or old fashioned oats. Do not use quick oats.
