Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground flaxseeds, salt and sugar.
  3. Add the coconut oil, and use a fork to work into the dry ingredients. It should resemble coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the milk and vanilla, and stir until just combined. Fold in the blueberries.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Flatten the dough with your hands (lightly flour your hands if sticky). Flatten it into a circle, about 1 inch thick.
  6. Using a pizza cutter or large knife, cut it like you would a pizza, into 8 pieces.
  7. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 22-26 minutes, until lightly golden brown on top.
