Apple Date Walnut Scones (Vegan)

Yum

apples, dates, no added sugar, vegan, walnuts. wholegrain

I love scones with a cup of  tea on a blustery afternoon, or dipped in a cappuccino on an easy Sunday morning… and these yummy vegan apple date walnut scones just satisfy that little “indulgence” without the guilt! They have no added sugar! The sweetness comes naturally from the apples, dates (I use Medjool dates) and walnuts and it’s just enough! In fact, have decided to call my new line of Cuisinicity scones my trifecta scones (check my other 2 so far: Pumpkin, Raisin Walnut scones, Pear Fig Walnut scones and I have many more in mind that I am working on)! It makes sense: the definition of trifecta is “a perfect group of three” or ” winning three times” and that’s what all my wholegrain scones are based on: 3 wholesome main ingredients, one fresh fruit or vegetable, one dried fruit, one nut and I vary any one of them to create a new flavor. I am having so much fun creating these moist luscious scones and one more thing…they have no added sugar!

Watch me make them here in my kitchen right in front of you in less than 5 minutes!

Apple Walnut Scones (Vegan)
 
Print
I use medjool dates, and take out the pits as needed, it's quick and easy to do, so you don't need to look for pitted dates.
Author: Catherine Katz
Serves: 10 scones
Ingredients
  • Wet Ingredients:
  • 1 cup organic applesauce (unsweetened)
  • 8 medjool dates, pitted & chopped
  • ½ cup organic expeller pressed canola oil
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Dry Ingredients:
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven 350 F
  2. Place all the wet ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for a couple minutes until creamy.
  3. Add the dry ingredients and beat again (it will form a very thick dough and that's OK).
  4. Scoop out the dough in large heaping spoonfuls, and place each scoop (you'll have enough for 10 small scones) on top of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden.

white whole wheat flour king arthur flour package

I like to use King Arthur white whole wheat flour for this recipe: it’s filled with fiber, yet is very light in texture!

    What about using coconut oil? The Awakening to Alzheimer’s mentions how Studies show it’s known to prevent and possibly reverse both it and Dementia.

      Hi Holly,
      I have written a blog about just that misconception here and I think it will help clarify: https://cuisinicity.com/verdict-canola-oil/

    I made this today. Turned out to be great! I used freshly made apple sauce. I boiled and blended the dates to a paste and they are perfectly gently sweet. Something I’d feel slightly okay giving to diabetics. Thank you!

      Thank you Smita! Homemade applesauce is just wonderful and yes I agree but will double check with my husband about it being a great scone for diabetics, as it has no extrinsic added sugar, just the goodness of the apples, dates and walnuts!

    Hi there! Looks really great and can’t wait to try it. Thank you for your honest, sweet and authentic presentation. So real, Just love it. Have you experimented with gluten-free flour like amaranth or cassava?

    I may have used too much flour. They were pretty heavy. Do you have a weight for the flour? Going to try again, loved the flavor, just sweet enough.

      I am sorry to hear that Danny, this comes out light and fluffy always so that must be what happened. I don’t weigh my flour but here is an easy tip for you: https://cuisinicity.com/measure-flour/ I hope you try it again, you are going to love these scones!!

        Thank you for this recipe. I just made it and think it’s great! Just a question: after I cooked the apples, there was about 1/4 cup liquid left. Should I have added the liquid to the scones?

          (so sorry for my late response, for some reason, I only saw your comment today!)

          Interesting question Janet, because usually there is no liquid left after you cook the apples. So, I would say no. What did you decide to do? it sounds like it worked out beautifully for you anyway, but just wondering!
