Ingredients
Scale
- 1¾ cup (174g) blanched almond flour
- ⅔ cup (85g) arrowroot flour
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning, plus more to garnish (optional)
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
- 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup (66g) refined coconut oil, firm
- ½ cup (125g) gluten-free sourdough discard, see Notes
- ⅓ cup dairy-free milk
Instructions
For the scones
- In a food processor or large mixing bowl, combine the blanched almond flour, arrowroot flour, everything bagel seasoning, nutritional yeast, baking powder, and salt. Pulse or whisk together.
- Add in the coconut oil and pulse or use a pastry cutter or fork to work the coconut oil into the dry ingredients until only small chunks of coconut oil remain.
- Whisk together the dairy-free milk and starter, and then add to the dry ingredients and stir or pulse until completely combined.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet and dust with arrowroot flour. Put the dough on top of the parchment, dust with more arrowroot flour, and press into a circle, about 1½” thick and 8” across. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours to chill. If leaving in the refrigerator for more than a few hours, I recommend wrapping the dough in plastic wrap so it doesn’t dry out.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut the circle into 8 scones and separate from each other so they’re not touching. Use a pastry brush to brush the top of the scones with a small amount of dairy-free milk. Sprinkle each scone with more everything bagel seasoning. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm. They’re delicious with a little bit of vegan butter or cream cheese.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
For the discard: this recipe uses a sourdough starter as an ingredient, so if you’re not maintaining a sourdough starter, this isn’t the recipe for you! Don’t use discard that is from a super new starter – it should be smelling good and at least a week old. The starter does not need to be active and should be fed with about 100% hydration.
