Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup granulated erythritol

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the chilled, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 5

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, followed by the unsweetened almond milk and granulated erythritol. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Using a knife, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and carefully transfer them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
