5 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour or 1 cup each whole wheat and all-purpose
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 Tablespoons cold butter diced*
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 cup milk of choice coconut, almond, cow's, etc + 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups raspberries frozen or fresh, if frozen don't defrost

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment and set aside.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and butter. Use a pastry cutter (shown in pictures) or a fork to mash butter into the dry mixture. Stop when butter is mixed into the flour, with only oat-sized pieces remaining. Some larger clumps left is okay. Alternately, this can be done in the bowl of a food processor.
  • 3. Add all remaining ingredients and stir just to combine. Some visible dry bits are okay.
  • 4. Sprinkle a big pinch of flour on your counter, and dump dough onto the counter. Use your hands to flatten the dough into a disc, then fold in half and reshape into a circle. This helps create more flaky layers in the scones and finishes mixing it all together. The circle should be about 10 inches across and 1 inch thick.
  • 5. Use a knife to divide the circle into 8, like cutting a pizza. Transfer the triangles onto the baking pan with a spatula, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Scones will be a little lumpy and some raspberries may burst, which means you've done it exactly right.
  • 6. Eat immediately with extra butter, if desired. Scones are best on the first day they're made. I like to store leftovers in the freezer, then pull them out and reheat in the toaster or slice in half and warm in some butter on a hot skillet.

Notes

*If you want to make these vegan, try subbing vegan butter or cold coconut oil. Results will vary slightly, but should still yield tasty scones.
