When you start out writing about food you’re forced to try a lot of different concoctions. Some are good and some… not so much, but these blueberry scones are the bomb! Using oat and almond flour gives these scones a bit of a nutty taste which goes really well with blueberries, and yet they still stay fluffy and light, so do yourself a flavour favour and give these a try.

minutesIngredients
1 1/2 tsp of chia seeds and 1 1/4 Tbsp of water (chia egg)
1/3 cup of oat milk
3/4 cup of corn or potato starch
1 1/4 cup of almond flour
1/2 cup of oat flour
2 1/2 tsp of baking powder
2 1/2 Tbsp of brown sugar
1/4 tsp of salt
3 Tbsp of coconut oil
1/4 cup of blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together the chia and water and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Add the oat milk to the chia egg bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl add the starch, almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, sugar and salt and mix well.
- Add the coconut oil in it’s solid form to the large mixing bowl and use a fork to “cut” it into the mixture until only small pieces remain.
- Stir the chia egg once more and slowly add it to the large bowl a little at a time. The dough should not be crumbly nor sticky. You can adjust by adding oat flour or water as needed although we don’t find this is necessary.
- Mix in the blueberries and stir until well distributed.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and form the dough into a 1″ thick disk.
- Cut the disk into 8 pie shaped pieces and transfer to a prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the scones begin to brown on the edges.
- Let cool before enjoying.
