Hello New Year.......my favourite vegan scone

So it's a bit late. Really if i could just get off of pinterest long enough to post something of my own everything would be great =) I blog posts in my head all day long. Take pictures everything I cook or bake. So let's get this show going.

A few years back I came across and article on Babycakes bakery in New York. I have never been there but instantly fell in love. One day i will find my way there. But for now the cookbooks keep me happy =)

This is the easiest scone recipe out there. I switch it up all the time...throw in a banana...no blueberries... well I always have chocolate chips.

Babycakes scones

2 Cups whole spelt flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 Tsp salt
1/3 Cup coconut oil (melted), more for brushing
1/3 Cup agave nectar, more for brushing (use maple syrup if you don't want to buy a whole bottle or if you don't have any on hand)
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup hot water
1 cup raspberries (I ran out this time...so i used PC decadent chocolate chips-they have no diary)

-Line baking sheet with parchment or silpat.
-In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, Baking powder, and salt. Add the oil, agave, and vanilla and stir together until a thickish/dry batter is formed. Pour in the hot water and mix. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
-Using a muffin scoop, scoop batter onto prepared sheets. lightly brush the tops with oil. Bake for 14 mins.
-Remove from oven and brush lightly with agave nectar.
-Let cool on sheet for 15mins, then transfer to a wire rack.

Smoothie Love

Some smoothie love to get your morning started (in our house no one says no to a smoothie...ever).


In most cases I don't make the same smoothie twice...I never have the same thing in my fridge, so I substitute with what I have.

1/2 c greek yogurt (for vegan option omit yogurt and add almond milk and a full banana)
1/2 c pineapple juice (or what ever kind you have on hand)
1 1/2 c strawberries
1/2 c  mango
1/2 banana

Blend....LOVE

Note: I like to chop up my fruit the night before and freeze so its ready to go, if you are not using frozen fruit. Its also a good way to use up that fruit that you know you are not going to use in the next day and is almost due to be chucked.
