Ingredients

Scones
1½ cup whole wheat flour
1 cup almond meal flour
2 scoops Lean Body for Her vanilla whey protein powder
½ cup xylitol
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup coconut oil
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
2/3 cup cooked mashed sweet potatoes, mashed
1 egg
¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Icing
½ scoop Lean Body for Her vanilla whey protein powder
2-4 tablespoons milk
dash of ground cinnamon

Method

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Combine the first 10 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.

3. Add coconut oil and applesauce to the bowl of dry ingredients and, using a large fork or pastry knife, cut and stir until mixture is crumbly.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together sweet potatoes, egg, and milk. Spoon this mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir together until well combined.

5. Form the dough into a ball and place on a flat, well-floured surface. Pat dough down and form a 1-inch thick rectangle (you’ll want to add flour to your hands as well to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands).

6. Using a knife, evenly cut dough into 14 triangles. Place each triangle onto sheet pan and bake in the oven for 10-14 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.

7. Let scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

8. Whisk together the icing ingredients and drizzle on each scone. Enjoy!
