Ingredients
Lemon Coconut SconesIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup rolled oats 1/4 cup organic sugar (white) + 2 tablespoons 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons vegan cream cheese 3 tablespoons chilled Earth Balance, or omit cream cheese and use 3 more tablespoons 1/4 cup canola oil 2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup soy milk mixed with 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Directions
Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 Fahenheit.

Whisk together flours, oats, sugar, baking powder & soda and salt. Using pastry blender or a fork, cut in the cream cheese & Earth Balance, or just Earth Balance.

Add oil & toss to coat. Add lemon zest and coconut. Toss. Add vanilla to lemon juice/milk mixture and add just enough into the dry ingredients until the dough clumps together.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead just a few times; do not overwork dough!

Shape into a circle and cut wedges out, or shape into a rectangle about 1" thick, cut it down the center so that 2 long strips remain & then cut triangles. Place on cookie sheets lined with PARCHMENT (so important). Brush with milk & sprinkle sugar on top before baking.
