Cinnamon Twist Gluten-Free Scones

Cinnamon Twist Muesli Scones

Serves 6 | Vegan Friendly, Gluten Free Scones

GLUTEN FREE SCONE INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup walnuts (or safe substitute)
• 2 cups ZEGO muesli (Cinnamon Twist)
• 2/3 cup cassava flour (or substitute)
• 1/3 cup brown sugar (or white sugar+1t molasses)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup almond butter (or safe substitute)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1 egg (or safe substitute)
• 1 tsp vanilla

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Using small pulses, grind walnuts in a food processor until ground into a flour (a medium grind is fine — make sure to not pulse walnuts until they become a butter!).
3. Pour walnut flour into a large bowl & combine with dry ingredients.
4. Put wet ingredients in the food processor and pulse until combined in one smooth mixture.
5. Combine wet and dry mixtures in the large bowl. Mix using a wooden spoon & your hands if necessary.
6. Place scone mixture onto a piece of parchment paper and flatten. Cut into 2″-3″ strips and then cut each strip using alternating diagonals to create triangles.
7. Transfer triangles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake until golden brown (10-15 min). 
8. Let scones cool before removing them from the sheet. 
9. If you would like scones to be more dry like a biscotti, put them back in the oven at 275°F for approximately 10 minutes.
