Finally we have scones again! I love this delicious triangular pastry more than anything. Summer is taking a short break for us and I’m trying to focus even more on the blog and my training as a vegan nutritionist. It won’t be long before I’m through with my advanced training. It is really exciting to see how well researched the vegan diet has become and how easy it is to eat a purely plant-based diet. However, some people still feel emboldened to make fun of the new trend of “plant based lifestyles“. It was unnatural and one would have to supplement synthetically. Unfortunately, these same people do not ask themselves the question of how the B12 gets into the meat. Certainly not naturally, or when was the last time you saw a pig running happily in a meadow? I think I will write a detailed knowledge article about B12 soon. Now though, let’s focus on our delicious scones!
Vegan scones with caramelized bananas
You may have noticed that I’ve become a big fan of oil-free baking. why? First of all, I find that you can almost not taste the difference to oily Baked goods almost no taste at all, and besides, you save a lot of calories. Baking without oil also always means that it is more complete. Oil is a processed food and is absolutely fine in small amounts. With cakes and pastries, however, large quantities are very often used and I would rather avoid them. It’s all in the mix! I also always bake in between recipes with oil or margarine. Nevertheless, here once again summarizes the advantages of an oil-free baking method:
- Less calories, oil has a very high caloric density with about 850-900 calories per 100ml.
- More complete, because oil no longer has fiber. Nut puree, for example, is made from whole nuts and contains the whole, whole nut. Important! Oil-free does not mean fat-free, we get important essential and predominantly unsaturated fatty acids for example from nuts or other foods
- Oil can be replaced very easily with other whole foods such as nut mousse, coconut mousse, applesauce, ripe banana or plant-based yogurt.
Oil-free baking is super easy!
The preparation of the recipe is really simple. The chopped bananas are first caramelized in a little coconut milk, cinnamon and coconut sugar in a pan. This gives them a wonderful aroma.
Spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, apple cider vinegar, chopped walnuts, bourbon vanilla, salt and coconut milk. All of this is combined with the caramelized bananas to form a compact dough. It is then shaped into a 2-3 cm thick slice and placed directly on the baking sheet. Cut into 8 equal pieces with a knife and put in the oven.
TIP: For a gluten-free version, feel free to use my gluten-free flour blend or another gluten-free flour and add 1 tsp carob bean gum for a better binding.
Vegan scones my loves
What goes with the scones? Absolutely a hot drink, for example, a cappuccino with almond milk, hot chocolate or creamy latte with CBD oil. Somehow I’m already getting into the autumnal mood with wood stove, blanket, book, hot drink and scones.
We summarize: The scones take just 35 minutes, are naturally sweetened, oil-free and super delicious!
