Gingerbread Scones

5 Scones

These scones come together in minutes and make a great breakfast treat during the holiday season. Eat them warm from the oven with your morning coffee or have them as a snack with a nice cup of tea. They even make a great dessert with a dollop of whipped cream!

They are as versatile as they are easy and once you make them, they will become a holiday favorite.

They use all the warm spices of the season like cinnamon, cloves and molasses. The ginger gives them the little bit of bite and holiday feel.

You might need to make a double batch!

These are dairy free (I use vegan butter) and can also be gluten free if you get gluten free oat flour.

I make my own oat flour by buying gluten free rolled oats and grinding them up into flour in my blender or processor.

These will warm up your holiday season!

They make a nice alternative to gingerbread cookies!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 1 Tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 Tablespoons butter, melted( I use vegan)
  • 1/3 cup maple sugar NOT maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons molasses
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, sugar and baking powder.
Add the melted butter and blend till the mixture resembles sand and the butter is divided throughout.
In a small bowl, whisk together the molasses and applesauce.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine.
Using an ice cream scoop, place 5 scoops on a non-stick or lined baking pan. Bake for 12 minutes.
Allow the scones to cool for 5 minutes before removing to a rack to finish cooling.
Tips
  • If you don’t have maple sugar, you can use brown sugar
  • The scones will be fairly dome shaped when they are done, so I lightly press down on them with the back of a spatula as soon as they come out of the oven to give them more of a scone shape.
