Scones To The Rescue!

Every week I make the same promise - this week I will get more sleep. However, running a company and managing a social life tend to eat into my affirmation week after week. Out of this situation have come some super functional hacks and recipes to keep me going. This scone recipe in particular has been a rockstar in terms of what it can do for me. I developed it 4 months ago and it has been super effective ever since.

What I needed-

A quick source of energy, all 3 fibres, protein and a product that would enable healthy bowel movements that day.

This recipe is designed to be quick but effective. The dough isn't sprouted (however you can sprout yours if you like). It's a really great recipe for anyone who works out hard on a weekly basis but has gut health issues they need to manage. Simply served with butter or hummus, one scone will give you the energy you need to get through tired days and relieve you of any bloating you're suffering from due to a lack of sleep and your gut being a bit out of whack!

Scones to the Rescue!

Ingredients

110g organic quinoa flakes
120g sorghum (almost impossible to buy organic sorghum)
60g organic tapioca flour
45g organic chia seeds
40g organic ground flax
70g organic butter
Half teaspoon gluten-free bicarb of soda
Half teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar (Sugar! Gasp! This is a crucial ingredient when using this recipe for quick energy during times of exhaustion! We've all been there.)
1 organic egg
150ml organic milk

Method

Mix all the dry ingredients together and then rub in the butter until the dough is in crumbs.

Beat the milk and egg together before pouring into the centre of the dry mixture.

Stir the mixture together until it comes into a ball. Add more milk if you feel the dough is a little too dry and will break once you roll it out.

Roll out the ball onto a sorghum floured surface. Brush some egg on top if you like a glazed scone and sprinkle some more chia seeds on top. Cut into 4 triangles.

Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees celsius fan.

These scones will keep for 5 days. I enjoy them toasted from day 2 onwards. They are such a handy thing to keep in your bag ready for impromptu summer picnics or those times you're the only one one in the group in need of a gluten-free bread to go with your cheese plate at cheese and wine night! ;)

Enjoy on all occasions with all toppings!

“Karen is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the wellness industry,” he says. “She doesn’t talk any doo-doo and she doesn’t hold back either. She has taught me a lot about crop rotation and soil health, and I believe if we are interested in human nutrition we need to be interested in the quality of the plants we grow, and the health of the soil in which they grow.

"It’s an intriguing space with a beautiful story to tell. The setting is an inconspicuous building in a quiet corner of a Westport carpark, but the learnings found within the walls are nothing short of spectacular."

"Priced around £1 per slice, the Happy Tummy Loaf certainly has a lot to prove."

"Specialising in high fibre, wholegrain breads and bakes, she's lithe and clear-skinned, with an infectious Irish enthusiasm. We met for the first time in January when she hosted a dinner at the Soho-based fermented food pop-up,Kultured. Then, like now, she spoke about the gut with the clear-eyed zeal of someone who's set on converting the world to her way of thinking."
