Potato Soup and Pear Scones

Come join us in our home as I prepare dinner and the kiddos set the table. Saturdays are our favorites, and we love having soup and scones for dinner.

It’s become a family tradition now, and it’s one we don’t want to ever stop. Well, maybe this summer it’ll be salad and scones 🙂

***Remember, we eat plant-based at home, so these recipes are plant-based and the scones are gluten-free!

Below are the recipes, enjoy!

Pear Scones Recipe:

This scones recipe was adapted from the Engine 2 cookbook. I absolutely love this cookbook and highly recommend it!

I have tweaked the recipe though to fit our needs a bit better. I do love using almond flour in my cooking, however it is fattening and very expensive, so I’ve eliminated quite a bit of it in the recipe. I hope you enjoy my version of these scones as much as we do!

Ingredients:

• 4 1/2 cups oat flour (grind oats into flour)
• 1 1/2 cup almond flour
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• dash of salt
• 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 pears, diced into small pieces
• 2 Tbsp. water

These pear scones are the perfect fall treat! I used a combination of oat flour and almond flour to give these great texture. The taste is delicious and definitely worth the effort.

Ingredients

  

• 4 1/2 cups oat flour (grind oats into flour)
• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• dash of salt
• 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 pears, diced into small pieces
• 2 Tbsp. water

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and combine all the dry ingredients into a bowl.
• Place the diced pears into a microwave safe bowl, add a couple tablespoons of water, and microwave for 2 minutes.
• Drain the pears and add them to the bowl with the pure maple syrup.
• If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until you achieve a great consistency.
• Break the dough in half, then mold each half of dough into a circular form. Wet your hands with water, to keep the dough from being too sticky.
• Each circle of dough should be between 1-2 inches tall.
• Dip a knife into some water, then carefully cut the disks into 8 pieces. Do not try and separate the triangles.
• Place the scones into the oven for 5 minutes to help firm up the dough.
• Take out the scones, and separate the triangles from each other, so that they aren’t touching.
• Place scones back into the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
• Cool scones on a wire rack, then serve!

Notes

***If you don’t have access to pears, apples work great too!
