Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or honey
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries diced small
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup for strawberries
  • 1 cup whipped cream or coconut whipped cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Spoon batter into prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.
  5. While shortcakes cool, combine diced strawberries with maple syrup in a small bowl. Let macerate for 10 minutes to release juices.
  6. Once shortcakes are cooled, slice each mini cake in half horizontally. Place bottom halves on a serving platter.
  7. Top each shortcake bottom with a small spoonful of strawberries, a dollop of whipped cream, and place the top back on. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For best results, make the shortcakes ahead and assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess. You can substitute Greek yogurt for half the whipped cream for added protein. Store leftover components separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
