Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
2cupschopped pears*
4Turkish dried figschopped
1/2cuporganic expeller pressed canola oil
1/2tsppure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
2cupswhite whole wheat flour
1 1/2tspbaking powder
1/3cupraw walnut halves or pieces
Instructions
Preheat oven 350 F
Place the chopped pears, chopped figs and remaining wet ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for a couple minutes until thoroughly blended (it's ok for some of the chopped pear pieces to stay intact!).
Add the dry ingredients and beat again (it will form a very thick dough and that's OK).
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.
Optional: If you'd like, you can top each scone with a piece of walnut before putting in the oven.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden.
