They are dense, but soft at the same time with lots of chocolate flavor and a hint of banana.
- Yields: 8 Servings
Directions
Pre heat oven to 350˚ with the rack in the middle. In a medium bowl whisk together flours, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt and add one ounce of the chocolate. Mix coconut milk, banana, vanilla, stevia in a blender or food processor. Add wet to the dry ingredients and form a dough. Press together with your fingers until you can knead into dough ball. Taste dough, add more sweetener if needed. Press dough into a 1/2 inch thick flattened disk. Cut into 8 equal pieces. Top with remaining one ounce of chocolate. Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet and transfer to rack. Dust with powdered sugar or maple sugar before serving if desired.
NOTES:
Add some nuts or dried fruits to these scones if you wish.
If you cannot find oat flour you can make your own by grinding gluten free old fashioned rolled oats in a blender or food processor until you have a fine powder.
You can also sweeten these scones with honey, maple syrup or agave. About 6 tablespoons (3 ounces by weight) will do.
I used a kitchen scale for all of these measurements including the liquids.
