Ingredients
Servings
8
- 2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground chamomile flowers
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons fine white sugar
- 6 tablespoons dairy-free spread or coconut oil
- ½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
- ¼ cup unsweetened oat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 small apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, ground chamomile, cinnamon (if using), and sugar.
-
Add the cold dairy-free spread or coconut oil cubes to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the fat into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened apple sauce, oat milk, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir gently until just combined.
-
Fold in the finely chopped apple until evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing to keep scones tender.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat into a 7-inch (18 cm) circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
-
Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
-
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving to toddlers.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat gently before serving.
