Vegan Gluten-free Strawberry Shortcakes

Servings: 15 shortcakes

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine brown rice flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt. Sift together and set aside. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the coconut oil into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse crumb.
  • In a measuring cup, combine 3/4 cup almond milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup. Pour the liquid into the bowl with the flour and stir until a dough forms. Using your hands, shape the dough into a large ball then transfer to a parchment paper lightly sprinkled with flour. Press it out to roughly 1-inch thick then use a cookie or biscuit cutter to cut out the shortcakes. Continue to ball up the dough, press it out and cut until you have 15 cakes.
  • Transfer the parchment paper to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until light golden brown on the edges. Set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes. Serve layered with whipped cream and strawberries and enjoy!

Notes

*Your coconut oil should be in a solid state without any liquid whatsoever. If yours is even a little bit melted, place it in the fridge to chill for about 5-10 minutes, until it firms up. If there’s any doubt, err on the side of more solid than soft.
Because the cakes are made with whole grain flour, they have more of a dense texture. If you prefer a lighter texture and don't mind baking with starches, you can try replacing 1/2 cup of the brown rice flour with tapioca flour.
