Instructions
-
If you haven’t chilled your can of coconut milk yet get on that. Seriously - you can’t start this until you do. I’ll wait…
-
Welcome back! Pre-heat your oven to 425 F while you gather all of your scone ingredients together.
Shift your flour, baking powder, soda, sugar, salt, and cinnamon into a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
-
Open your can of chilled coconut milk and scoop out what you need of the white part - leave behind the water-ish part that’s separated from it (put it aside for now). Drop the coconut into your flour mixture and take a fork and start pressing it into the flour until it breaks up a bit and starts to form crumbs. If you’re used to making scones with butter this is basically what you’re doing to replace it.
-
Add in the grated apple, vanilla, and nuts (if using), and mix until just combined. If the mixture is too dry add a little more of the solidified coconut nut. Do NOT knead or overwork the dough.
-
Add the mixture onto of a silicon or parchment basking sheet and shape into a circular disc that’s about 1 inch thick. Brush some of the coconut water that you set aside on top of the scone and then mix together the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the top evenly.
-
Cut into 6 wedges that are the same size and space out a little bit. These aren’t going to expand too much, but give them a little space.
-
Back for 16-18 minutes and then cool on a rack. They’re good to eat pretty soon after coming out of the oven, otherwise they’ll be fine in the fridge for about five days or you can freeze up to one month. But whose kidding - they’ll never last that long.

This looks awesome. Any recommendation for substituting coconut milk?
Thank you!
It’s providing a source of healthy fat here so you could try using avocado – that would be my first try if I wanted to do that! Let me know if it works 🙂
