Published 3/5/2024 These scones are the perfect base scone recipe to create your own wonderful variation.
Whole Wheat Scones from the Love Real Food Cookbook!
These scones celebrate my friend Kathryn’s Cookbook and we’re excited to share it with you. Scones made without eggs or butter? WHAT? That’s right. You only need 8 total ingredients for these babies, and none of them are eggs or butter. The base is made from white whole wheat flour, they’re sweetened with honey, and softened with full-fat coconut milk. When I saw coconut milk, I was surprised, but it made a lot of sense. It gives it the moisture it needs, plus great flavor. The greatest part about these scones is that they are not too sweet. I am a sweet girl but a not-too-sweet girl. I also love that you can pretty much flavor them however you want by adding a berry, chocolate, dried fruit, etc! These will most definitely be a staple in my kitchen, and I can’t wait to play around with flavor combos.
What You Need to Make Whole Wheat Scones
We start off with whole wheat flour, which is the base for our scones. We love using whole wheat flour as it provides a nice, hearty base due to the increased nutrition content! Next up, we have coconut milk. This is the secret ingredient to super delicious scones due to the high fat content. But don’t worry. The coconut flavor isn’t overpowering in these scones. For a natural sweetener, we chose honey. It adds a slight sweetness without adding any refined sugar. Lastly, we use turbinado sugar to sweeten up the scones a little bit more. Turbinado sugar is raw, unprocessed brown sugar. Basically, it’s sugar in its purest form. It has a touch of molasses flavor, giving the scones a bit of warmth and depth.
How to Serve Whole Wheat Scones
You know how the Brits are always having tea with their scones? Well, now you can too! Pair your honey whole wheat scones with a London Fog or a Chai Tea Latte. If you need a little caffeine boost, try a Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew or a plain old Pour Over Coffee.
Storage + Freezer Instructions
Homemade scones can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days. You can also keep them in the fridge for up to one week. If you want to freeze them, pop the scones in an airtight container and freeze them for up to one month.
How do I reheat leftover scones?
Pop them into the microwave for 10 seconds until warm. Just make sure the scones are thawed first before reheating!
