  • Chia Jam:
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds
  • Optional: sweetener, as desired
  • Quinoa Scones:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten free flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, solid
  • 5 Tbsp cooked quinoa
  • 1 Tbsp polenta
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup dried berries of your choice (soaked overnight)

  • Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes or until a jam texture has formed.

  • Quinoa Scones:

  • Preheat oven to 400F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Rub in the coconut oil until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the quinoa and polenta.
