How to Make Banana Oat Scones

• Add the shortening to the flour in a bowl and, with a fork, cut the shortening into the flour until you have a fairly granular texture.
• Add the oats, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• In a separate bowl, mix the bananas, almond milk, vinegar, flax meal and sugar.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix together.
• Add the walnuts and stir in.
• You will have a fairly thick but still loose batter.
• Drop the batter on a greased cookie sheet in rounds-- this batter will make around 12 scones.
• Bake in a 375-degree preheated oven about 25-30 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
• Eat warm with some vegan spread or a pat of jelly or just on their own.
