Blackberry Oat Scones


I used to work at a small coffee shop in Summerland and they had the best pastries. My favorite was the blackberry oat scones. We got to take home the leftovers everyday. While there usually weren't any scones left, because they were so good, I remember one day there were two left. I was like oh, yay, I have a two day supply. I was driving home and I was like man, I really want a bite. So, I had one bite, then you know, another, then the last thing I know in my 10 minute drive home I ate both scones! (Don't judge.) They were that good! Since then, a few years have passed and I have yet to find a Vegan version of those scones. I decided to make my own, and they came out, in my opinion just as good as the others! Anywho, long story short, blackberry oat scones are delicious and I can't contain myself with scones, apparently.

What you need:
1 cup frozen or fresh blackberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup almond milk
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

What to do:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium saucepan on medium heat stir together blackberries, sugar, and almond milk. Stir together until balckberries become very soft and are almost mashed up. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
In a large bowl measure out flour, oats, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix in blackberry liquid.
On a clean surface, sprinkle flour. Make about 2 pancakes about 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut each like a pizza into about four squares. There four you will have about 12 scones. Bake for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!
