Ingredients
  • 130g spelt whole wheat
  • 40g oats (plus extra for sprinkling on top)
  • 1 tbs baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 dash of salt
  • 55g coconut oil , solid and straight from the fridge and cut into cubes*
  • 100g soy yogurt
  • 1tbs chia + 100ml water = “chia egg”
  • 1 tbs apple cider vinegar
  • 50g date sugar
  • 50g walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 figs
  • 1 small pear
  • For the fig and pear compote:
  • 2 pears
  • 2 figs
  • 1tbs date sugar
  • ¼ tsp bourbon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Add spelt flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and coconut oil into a bowl and mix together with your fingers until crumbly. Place in the fridge until later.
  2. Add chia seeds into a small bowl and pour in the water, mix and let it sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile mix together apple cider vinegar, soy yogurt and date sugar. Also cut the fruit into 1 cm cubes.
  3. Preheat oven to 180°C. Remove the dry ingredients from the fridge and pour in the chia egg, the soy yogurt mixture and add the walnuts as well as the diced fruit. Mix until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky yet you should be able to handle it. Flatten the dough into a disk (ca.17 cm in diameter) and cut into 8 pieces. Place onto a lined baking sheet with about 2cm inbetween each scone. Sprinkle with oats and bake for 30-35 minutes or until brown on the outside and firm to touch. They should be slightly crispy on the outside yet soft and airy on the inside. Let the sconces cool down before serving ( you could probably eat them warm, however, they firm up quite a bit while they cool down)
  4. While the scones are baking add water, date sugar, vanilla and the fruit for the compote into a saucepan and let it come to a boil. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Pour into a jar and let it cool.
  5. Slice the cooled scones in half and top with almond butter and the pear and fig compote. Enjoy.
