Wholemeal Scones
Soft, spiced, and naturally sweet—these wholemeal scones are a nourishing twist on a classic. Made with plant milk (or aquafaba for extra fluff), unsweetened apple sauce, and warm cinnamon, they’re oil-free and sweetened only with fruit. Perfect with a cuppa, they’re wholesome enough for breakfast and comforting enough for afternoon tea.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plant milk or aquafaba
- ½ cup unsweetened apple sauce see notes for NZ source
- 3 cups wholemeal flour
- 2½ tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup raisins or chopped dates
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking powder or silicon sheet.
- In a medium bowl, add all ingredients and gently stir until combined.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press out mix so that it is 3cm thick.
- Using a round scone cutter, cut the scones out of the dough, place each piece onto the baking tray. Recombine leftover dough until all is used.
- Bake the scones for 13-15 minutes until risen and golden brown on top. To test, tap the top of a scone, if it sounds hollow, then they're ready.
- Remove the tray from the oven and cover the scones with a clean, dry towel. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, serve with homemade jam.
