Ingredients
Servings
8
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas, mashed (or canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup finely chopped cremini or button mushrooms
- 2 cups gluten-free oat flour
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons water (flax egg)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed with water to prepare a flax egg; stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft and most moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and rosemary.
-
Add mashed chickpeas, sautéed mushrooms, flax egg, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, almond milk, and lemon juice to the dry ingredients. Mix until a slightly sticky dough forms.
-
Lightly dust your work surface with oat flour. Knead the dough gently a few times until well combined.
-
Shape the dough into a 7-inch diameter circle about 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 equal wedges.
-
Place the scone wedges evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
-
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving or storing.
-
Store cooled scones in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat gently before serving.
