Ingredients

1 cup organic whole wheat pastry flour, like Bob's Red Mill
1 cup bread flour
2 tablespoons organic cane sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder, aluminum-free
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
6 tablespoons organic non-hydrogenated shortening, like Spectrum
1/2 cup almond milk, or other non-dairy milk
1/4 cup spiced rum, like Kraken
4 plums, thinly sliced

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 425°. Grease a muffin tin with a little organic shortening.
2

In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, sea salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and shortening. Process the ingredients until the dough resembles a meal.
3

Add the liquid ingredients and pulse a few times. The dough should look like a thick batter.
4

Using a cookie scoop, place one scoop of batter in each muffin tin. Add a few of the sliced plums to the tins and press them down onto the dough.
5

Cover the plums with another dollop of dough and smush it down so that it somewhat covers the fruit.
6

Cover each scone with a sprinkle of cane sugar and pop them into the oven for 12-15 minutes.
