Spelt Flour Scones with Chocolate
These spelt flour scones with chocolate are vegan, very lightly sweetened with maple syrup, and surprisingly buttery thanks to coconut oil. Plus, they're packed with delicious bittersweet chocolate in every bite.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup plain almond milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 ¼ cup spelt flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom
- ⅓ cup quality dark chocolate , chopped
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil , melted and cooled slightly
Instructions
- Mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a small cup and set aside for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients plus the chopped chocolate and add the maple syrup, coconut oil, and almond milk mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
- Preheat the oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment. Place the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes then remove the bowl from the freezer and, using a tablespoon, scoop out spoonfuls of dough. Mold into a flat ball and place each on the baking sheet.
- Place in the oven and bake for 22-24 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. The scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature for two days.
