Another flavor variation of a scone recipe I’ve previously used. For this recipe, I used the food processor method instead of hand grating frozen coconut oil because it uses chilled coconut oil.

Ingredients
- 2 lemons
- 1 tablespoon water, or as needed (Optional)
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup coconut oil, chilled
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup finely chopped pecans
- ¼ cup hemp seed hearts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Zest lemons. Juice lemons into a measuring cup, adding water as needed, until 7 tablespoons liquid is reached. Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut milk, chia seeds, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; set aside to thicken, about 10 minutes.
- Dice chilled coconut oil on a work surface. Combine flour, sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda, ground ginger, and salt together in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add coconut oil and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add coconut milk mixture and pulse just until dough begins to clump and form a ball.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; gently knead in pecans and hemp seeds to distribute. Separate dough into 2 equal portions; pat or roll each into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedge-shaped pieces and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.
- I prefer black chia seeds for their appearance.
