Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
1 1/2
cups
sprouted brown rice flour (or regular brown rice flour)
1/2
cup
arrowroot powder or tapioca flour
3-4
tablespoons
granulated sugar (coconut sugar, maple sugar, or organic cane)
2
teaspoons
baking powder
1/2
teaspoon
sea salt
1-2
teaspoons
finely grated lemon zest
6
tablespoons
organic palm shortening
1
cup
fresh or frozen blueberries
Wet Ingredients
2
tablespoons
ground chia seeds
2
tablespoons
boiling water
2
tablespoons
lemon juice
1/2
cup
milk (I use homemade coconut milk, but almond or cashew milk works too)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, arrowroot, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
Cut in the shortening using your hands or a pastry cutter until pea-sized crumbs form.
Add the blueberries and gently toss together.
Place the ground chia seeds and boiling water into a small bowl and whisk with a fork.
Place chia mixture into a blender along with the lemon juice and milk; blend on high until smooth.
Pour wet mixture into the dry and gently mix together using a fork.
Form dough into a ball and place onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Press dough down so it looks like a thick, flat round.
Cut into 8 wedges.
Gently move the wedges so they are all separated on the baking sheet.
Brush with coconut milk and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Bake for about 25 minutes.
Enjoy hot out of the oven or at room temp.
