I love a good scone. But the flour and butter is challenging for me. Enter these naturally sweetened Sweet Potato Scones. Roasted sweet potato and a touch of coconut sugar keeps these very naturally sweet. Oat and teff flour create lift and vegan butter brings a buttery hold.
Mix and match add-ins like pecans and dark chopped chocolate. I slathered them in additional butter while warm. Oooh yaaa.

Pat the dough about 1 inch thick onto a sheet pan. Cut the dough into 8 triangles, pull them apart so they aren’t touching. Sprinkle with coconut sugar if desired.
