Description
Step up your sunrise game with these fluffy einkorn and coconut oil scones. Every bite is bursting with juicy blueberries and earthy maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 281 grams einkorn flour (3 cups all-purpose or 2 1/4 cups whole-grain)
- 21 grams baking powder (1 1/2 tablespoons)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 6 tablespoons solid coconut oil (not liquid, chilled if necessary)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup whole milk, plus 2 tablespoons for brushing
- 2/3 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (defrost if stuck together)
- Nonstick cooking oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the coconut oil with a pastry cutter or two forks until it’s crumbly and mostly mixed in.
- Stir in the maple syrup and milk until a sticky, cohesive dough is formed, and then fold in the blueberries (making sure not to overmix or the dough will get tough).
- Form the dough into a ball and then turn it out onto a separate piece of parchment paper. Flatten into a 6 to 7-inch round, and then use a round cookie cutter (or glass sprayed with nonstick cooking spray that’s about 4 inches in diameter) to cut the dough into equally sized rounds.
- Transfer the cut out dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing the rounds at least 1 inch apart. Brush them evenly with the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Bake until a toothpick comes out clean and the scones are fluffy and light golden brown on the edges, about 25-30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and serve warm. Once the scones are completely cooled, leftovers may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
Notes
If using fresh berries (instead of frozen, like I used), you may need to decrease the bake time by a few minutes.
