Psyllium husk comes in either a fine powder or a coarse powder. One tablespoon of the fine powder weighs 15g, and one tablespoon of the coarse powder weighs 5g, so be sure to use the gram weight, not the tablespoon measure, when measuring.

Ingredients
Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 190°C/170°C fan.
Place the chia seeds, psyllium husk, cinnamon, orange zest, oats, almonds, coconut, raisins, and salt into a large bowl. Stir to combine.
Pour in the water and olive oil and mix well. Set aside to soak for at least 30 minutes. While the mixture is soaking, preheat your oven to 190°C/170°C fan. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the dough onto the tray and shape into a round 14x14cm. You may need to gently squeeze it together, keep the faith that it will adhere!
Cut into 4 equal wedges. Space apart on the tray. If desired, brush with milk and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Great scones, easy to make and absolutely delicious
Not sweet but that’s good for me and it was perfect
Absolutely loved these !
I didn’t have any flaked almonds so I used mixed seeds I made a double batch in a square baking tin and used coconut sugar sprinkled on top rather than brown sugar. Going to freeze in individual portion sizes ideal for anytime in the day so so yummy 😋
Not sure if I'm allowed to say this, but these are surprisingly nice!!! So many healthy ingredients compared with traditional scones. A nice hint of orange. Thank you, this is a keeper! Thought I'd try them with all dates next time, as we used to love date scones (before we switched to whole food plant based).
Pretty awful if I am honest, tasteless and stodgy, no sweetness…ended up in the bin 😕
Easy and delicious. Great for breakfast
I made smaller portions and froze them.
Stunning. I though the mixture wouldn’t mix, but after leaving to soak it did
Initially wondered if they may be dry- but not.
Delicious- really nice with orange zest
Will try different fruit combinations
- apricot and chocolate
- strawberry and rhubarb
- nuts
- cranberry with the orange
I’m sure this list could be endless
Delicious, very chewy, I ate mine with a chunk of Stilton, will try next one with butter or peanut butter.
I used mixed berries - raisins, cranberries, blueberries & goji berry mix. Brushed with oat milk & dusted with light brown sugar. Gorgeous hit of sweetness for my afternoon work sweet cravings. I’m going to half them & freeze so I have more. Don’t need anything to go with them other than a cuppa. Thankyou. Easy to make
Very happy with the result. Looking forward to making these regularly.
Loved the orange in it. I did think that maybe they would be a little more crispy on the outside, but the flavour nice with the orange.
Scones didn't seem to cook so well in the middle and the raisins on top burnt. Will definately try with dates as they're a favourite with orange. Very filling and healthy! Had with cup of orange, ginger, cardamon and rooibos tea at 3.30pm NZ time.
Bland, at least with no sugar topping. Next time will try adding cocoa powder, more cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla.
