Ingredients

1 ½ cups raw cashews
¼ cup arrowroot flour
a pinch of sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup coconut oil melted but at room temperature
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon chia seeds see notes
2 ½ tablespoons water see notes
½ cup strawberries diced
½ cup blueberries

Instructions

Line an 8 inch (20 cm) cast-iron pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350°F and adjust the oven rack to the middle position.
Blend the cashews in a food processor until they reach a powder consistency and transfer to a large bowl. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and whisk together. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients, except for berries. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until well incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared cast-iron pan. Lightly place the berries all over the top of the scone batter.
Bake for 26–30 minutes, until the edges look golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

You will be making a chia egg using the chia seeds and water. Combine them together in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes in the refrigerator to set. When ready, add to the wet ingredients mixture.
