Fig Scones

This delicious Fig Scone is sure to be a crowd pleaser for all ages. I love the crispy texture of the scone and the sweet fig filling. My boys are sure to have me whipping this one up weekly! Did I mention it is egg free and dairy free!

Costco sells this large bag of Organic Dried Figs. My boys love them, and will eat them right out of the bag. The first time they caught sight of them they were a little hesitant, but I have strong, daring boys. They bit into one and quickly asked for another. Then they joked about serving them in a dish to friends and family. I have to admit they don't look so appetizing when you see them dried but, I can tell you they still have that sweet delicious taste that everyone loves. Well, after purchasing this large bag of dried figs I wondered what else could I make with them. I came up with my Spiced Fig Balls which are a delicious snack, and today I came up with this tasty Fig Scone.

Here is what you will need:

1/2 cup warm water
2 tbsp ground flax seed
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup of pure maple syrup
1 tsp coconut sugar
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup of dried figs
1 small apple (shredded)
1 lemon (use juice & zest)
1/4 cup of apple juice

Instructions:

Add figs, shredded apple, juice from one lemon, and 1/4 cup of apple juice to a saucepan.  Cook on low for about 10 minutes to soften. Allow mixture to cool, then process in a food processor until smooth.

Make flax egg by combining the warm water and 2 tbsp ground flax seed. Allow it it set for at least 5 minutes.

Combine flour, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl until it forms a dough ball. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Separate dough in half and press each half into a 6 inch circle on the parchment paper. Add fig filling to the center of one circle. Spread mixture over the circle leaving 1/2 space from edge of crust. Place the other 6 inch circle on top. Gently slice the circle into 6 pie shaped pieces. Separate the pieces to allow some space between them. Sprinkle 1 tsp of maple sugar to the tops and bake for 25 minutes.

Allow it to cool slightly and enjoy!

Blessings,
