- Makes 8 servings.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 bag of ZEGO blueberry lemon poppy oatmeal blended into flour
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup solid coconut oil
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon extract (optional)
- 1/4 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1 tbsp cashew butter (tahini would work as well)
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
DIRECTIONS
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a high speed blender, add one bag of blueberry lemon poppy oatmeal and blend on high into a fine flour.
- In a large bowl, add in the oat flour, coconut sugar, salt, and lemon zest. Combine well.
- Next, add in the coconut oil and mix into the flour mixture until there are just small bits of solid coconut oil left.
- Then add in the coconut milk, lemon juice, and lemon extract. Mix well until everything comes together.
- Fold in the blueberries and then form the scone mixture into a round shape about an inch and a half thick.
- Place on parchment paper and cut into 8 equal sections.
- Place the 8 scones onto a parchment lined baking sheet with about 2 inches of space in between each one.
- Bake at 400 for about 20-22 minutes. Keep an eye on the scones to make sure they do not get too dark.
- While the scones are baking, make a quick glaze by combining cashew butter or tahini, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Once the scones are done, let them cool for a few minutes and then drizzle the glaze on top of each one. Top with more lemon zest if desired.
- Let the scones cool completely and then enjoy! Keep stored in an air tight container.

Is there such thing as too much fiber?
While we recently highlighted how great fiber is, and how most adults in the US need to be eating more of it – can there be too much of a good thing?
YES! Especially when you add too much fiber to your diet too quickly. This can cause gas, bloating, and and other GI side effects, like diarrhea. And if you add too much fiber with not enough water, there`s even a risk of intestinal blockages.
That`s why we say start low and go slow to introduce more fiber into your diet. Have a question about fiber? Ask your dietitian!

You`ve heard that fiber is important, and that most Americans aren`t getting enough of it in their diet. But how can you really tell if you`re getting enough fiber? How can you read a nutrition facts panel to tell if you`re eating enough?
According to the FDA, the daily value of dietary fiber is 28 grams per day. Keep in mind that this is based on a 2,000 calorie diet and doesn`t take into account your calorie needs – so it might be slightly higher or lower.
A nutrition facts panel on any packaged product, like our oatmeal, will show you how many grams of fiber are in each serving and compare that agains the daily recommended value. For our oatmeal, each serving contains about 5 grams of dietary fiber, or about 14% of your daily recommended dose of fiber.
A bowl of our oatmeal is a great way to start your day with fiber and protein. Look for other whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts (depending on your dietary restrictions) to fill the rest of your fiber needs!

What is Fiber?
Did you know that there are TWO types of fiber – soluble vs. insoluble.
Soluble fiber dissolves in water in your digestive tract, forming a gel that slows digestion. It helps to lower your cholesterol, reduces your risk of heart disease, and stabilizes blood sugar.
Insoluble fiber does not dissolve, adding bulk to your stool to help it move through the digestive system.
Many foods contain both, and both are important for your overall health!

Today is April 1st and it’s no joke that today we’re celebrating sourdough!
April 1st is National Sourdough Bread Day, and we’re all about that #glutenfree sourdough.
Did you know that you can use our oats to make sourdough starter? Our double protein oats are raw, which means that the active enzymes can start to ferment and make sourdough starter at a quicker rate than heat-treated oats. Make into a flour or use the oats themselves to make a starter, or to add to an existing gluten-free sourdough starter. Learn more on our blog!
