cranberry orange desserts

These Vegan Cranberry Orange Scones are lightened up but packed with flavor! Wholesome ingredients make for a healthier, dairy-free breakfast treat. 

Vegan Cranberry Orange Scones

whole wheat white flour*

coconut sugar (or dry sweetener of choice)

orange

tsp baking powder

tsp salt

coconut oil, frozen & grated*

lite coconut milk* (full-fat also works)

tsp pure almond extract (or vanilla)

frozen cranberries, chopped

sugar

1+ TBS fresh squeezed orange juice

Preheat oven to 350F and grease scone panlightly with coconut oil. Set aside.

In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, orange zest, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Grate the ½ cup of frozen coconut oil into large bowl of dry ingredients. Or use food processor to pulse

Using dough blender, work coconut oil into flour mixture until a grainy, meal texture forms.

Pour in coconut milk, add in almond extract and gently combine, without overworking the dough. Then gently fold in chopped cranberries.

Distribute dough evenly into mini scone pan (you should be able to fill each cavity evenly) and bake for 15-20 minutes. (See notes for baking in circle.) Check for doneness at 15 minutes by inserting toothpick in middle of scone, toothpick should come out with little to no batter. (My scones took 18 minutes.) Allow scones to cool in pan for 5 minutes.

To make glaze, combine powdered sugar and start with 1 tablespoon of orange juice. Add more OJ, a very small amount at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Transfer scones to cooling rack with baking sheet underneath. Drizzle glaze on scones, as much or as little as desired. Scones are best when served fresh.

These Cranberry Orange Crumble Bars are the perfect balance between tart and sweet, plus they're made with only 10 ingredients! 

Cranberry Orange Crumble Bars 

(120 ml) fresh-squeezed orange juice* (about 1 large orange)

vanilla extract

(116 g) blanched almond flour

(59 g) tapioca starch/flour

(170 g) One Degree Organics Sprouted Rolled Oats

cinnamon

baking powder

(198 g) natural almond butter*

Prepare the Filling: add all ingredients in a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring the mixture frequently to ensure nothing burns or sticks to the pan. The filling is “done” once it has thickened and most of the cranberries have popped. Set aside to cool.

Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 9&#215;9” baking pan with parchment paper. 

Mix the Dry: add the Almond Flour, Tapioca Flour, Oats, Baking Powder, and Salt to a large bowl. Whisk until evenly incorporated.

Add the Wet: stir the Almond Butter and Maple Syrup together in a small bowl until they form an even paste, then add this mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir well until no dry clumps are left – the mixture should be pretty thick!

Assemble: press half of the “dough” into the bottom of the prepared tin, then spread the cranberry orange filling evenly over the top. Use your hands to crumble remaining dough and sprinkle it over the top of the filling. 

Bake: for 27-30 minutes, or until the crumb topping is crisp and slightly browned. Let cool completely before removing from the pan and slicing into 9 equal bars. Serve as desired; leftovers will last at room temperature for up to 4 days, in the fridge for about a week, and frozen for about a month.

I have made these several times. I love the tartness of the cranberries. These have become a breakfast item for me. I love the nut butter instead of using another fat. I have tried sunflower butter and almond butter. I have been happy with both.

I just made these yesterday for Thanksgiving and they went over great! I used peanut butter instead of almond butter because it was what I had and the dough wasn’t quite as thick but the recipe worked out and we all loved it!
