Ingredients

  • ¾ cup arrowroot starch
  • ¾ cup buckwheat flour
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 3 tablespoons hot water
  • 8 oz organic coconut milk full fat, plus a little more for brushing tops
  • 4 oz maple syrup I prefer grade B
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • ½ cup organic sucanat for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
  • In a large bowl, combine arrowroot starch, buckwheat flour, almond flour, salt, and baking powder with a whisk.
  • In a small bowl, add flaxseed meal and hot water. Stir together with a fork making a slurry. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add half of liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork. Add the flaxseed slurry and the rest of the liquids. The dough will be more like a thick batter. Feel free to add more almond flour if it seems too thin.
  • Carefully fold in blackberries. Using a ¼ cup, scoop and drop batter on prepared baking sheet. With a pastry brush, brush tops of scones with extra coconut milk. Sprinkle with sucanat.
  • Bake for 16 minutes, or until tops start to turn golden brown.
  • Remove scones from from baking sheet and place on wire rack. Serve scones warm. Best served the day they are made, but otherwise store up to a day or two in an airtight container.
