Orange Almond Scones

1 C quick-cooking oats
1 C whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 C sugar
1/2 t nutmeg
1/2 t salt
2 T sliced almonds, toasted
1/2 C vegan milk
1/3 C orange juice
1 T agave nectar
1 t orange zest
1/2 t almond extract
2 T canola oil

Preheat oven to 350°F. Process oats until they make a coarse flour. Combine with whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda, and other dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine vegan milk, orange juice, agave nectar, orange zest, and almond extract. Mix well and add to dry mixture. Stir through and add canola oil, mixing until just combined.

Scoop large spoonfuls of the mixture (roughly 1/2 cup each) and place onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Bake for 16-18 minutes, until the scones start to turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
