Like a cross between a white chocolate oatmeal cookie, blueberry pie, and blueberry oat muffin, these Farm Fresh Blueberry Shortcakes are a summer dream. Even if Vancouver or Krause Berry Farms is not a reasonable distance away, these Farm Fresh Blueberry Shortcakes will provide a little taste of what it's like here in the summer months.
Ingredients
  • DOUGH
  • 2 cups oats, divided
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil, frozen and cubed
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¼ to ½ cup almond milk
  • FILLING
  • 1 ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • 3 to 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp cornstarch
  • DECORATION
  • ¼ cup white chocolate, melted
  • Cinnamon
  • Honey, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400⁰F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a food processor, grind 1½ cups of oats into flour. Add the remaining oats, all purpose flour, baking soda and powder, salt, and cinnamon and pulse to combine.
  3. Add the frozen coconut oil to the dry mixture and pulse until coconut oil is broken up into small pieces.
  4. Pour in the maple syrup and ¼ cup of almond milk to the food processor and pulse to distribute. Continue adding almond milk a little at a time until a dough forms.
  5. Scoop the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out until ¼ inch thick.
  6. Make the filling by combining all ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
  7. Line a small bowl with plastic wrap and press slabs of the dough mixture into the bottom of the bowl, creating a crust.
  8. Add one third of the filling mixture into the crust and top with a round of filling, being sure to seal the edges so no juice flows out.
  9. Flip out onto prepared cookie sheet and patch up any holes if needed.
  10. Repeat twice more to make two more shortcakes.
  11. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until crust is lightly browned.
  12. Drizzle with melted white chocolate, honey, and a light dusting of cinnamon.
