Serves: 8
Ingredients
3 cups self-raising flour (see notes)
½ cup coconut oil (see notes)
½ cup coconut sugar (see notes)
2 very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp linseed meal
Instructions
Preheat oven to 210C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
Mix coconut oil, sugar, mashed bananas, vanilla and LSA in a large bowl. Sift 3 cups of flour into wet mix, stir well to combine. Use hands to incorporate all flour and form a ball of dough.
Transfer dough onto baking sheet, flatten ball into a round disc and use sharp knife to cut into 6 or 8 portions. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until pieces pull away from each other and top is slightly browned.
Notes
Gluten-free scones: Use gluten-free self-raising flour + 1 tsp xanthum gum. If adding oats, use uncontaminated brand. Flour: Instead of self-raising flour, use plain, wholemeal or spelt flour and add 3 extra tsp of baking powder. Coconut oil: Substitute with cold, chopped butter for an authentic scones recipe. Coconut sugar: Substitute for any other unrefined sugar, e.g. sucanat, rapadura.
