Agave Nectar
Agave nectar is a sweetener commercially produced from several species of agave, including Agave tequilana and Agave salmiana. Agave syrup is sweeter than honey and tends to be less viscous. Most agave syrup comes from Mexico and South Africa.
1/4 cup agave nectar
Milk ( Soy Milk)
Soy milk is a plant based drink produced by soaking dried soybeans and grinding them in water. A traditional staple of East Asian cuisine, soy milk is a stable emulsion of oil, water and protein.
6 tablespoons milk or cream
Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract is a solution containing the flavor compound vanillin as the primary ingredient. Pure vanilla extract is made by macerating and percolating vanilla pods in a solution of ethyl alcohol and water.
1 tsp vanilla extract
Wheat Pastry Flour
wheat pastry flour is milled from soft white wheat, whereas regular whole wheat flour is milled from hard red wheat. It has a lower protein content than regular whole wheat flour and it makes wonderfully tender whole grain baked goods.
2 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
Rolled Oats
Rolled oats are traditionally oat groats that have been de-husked, steamed and then rolled into flat flakes under heavy rollers before being stabilized by being lightly toasted.
1/2 cup rolled oats
Baking Powder ( Soda)
Because baking powder is a leavener that contains both the sodium bicarbonate and the flavor-saving acid, it is usually paired with non-acid ingredients like whole milk and Dutch-processed cocoa. Baking soda need an acid. Baking powder has an acid.
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
Salt
Common salt or table salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride, a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of salts; salt in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is known as rock salt or halite.
1/2 tsp salt
Butter
Butter is a solid dairy product made by churning fresh or fermented cream or milk, to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk.
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into small pieces
Strawberries
The garden strawberry is a widely grown hybrid species of the genus Fragaria. It is cultivated worldwide for its fruit. The fruit is widely appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness.
1/2 - 3/4 cup diced strawberries
Eggs
Eggs are laid by female animals of many different species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and fish, and have been eaten by humans for thousands of years.
1 egg, lightly beaten
Sparkling Sugar (Raw Sugar)
These sugar crystals are carefully polished to a glittery shine. Make beautiful bakery-style treats at home by sprinkling sparkling sugar on scones, muffins, pies, and cookies for dazzling sparkle, sweetness and crunch.

Directions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 400F degrees with the rack in the top 1/3. Line one baking sheet with parchment paper. -
2Whisk together the agave nectar, vanilla and milk in a small cup, and set aside.
-
3
Combine the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. -
4Using a food processor, cut the butter into the flour mixture, pulsing until it appears sandy (about 20 quick pulses). You can also use a hand-held pastry blender or a pair of forks to cut the butter into the flour. Continue mixing until you have a good sandy texture.
-
5
Add the agave/milk mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. Be careful to avoid overmixing. You can add a little more milk if the dough is too dry. -
6Gently fold in the strawberries with your hands. The dough will be very crumbly, this is ok!
-
7
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface or a piece of parchment paper, kneed once or twice, if necessary to bring the dough together. Press in any strawberries that may have fallen out. Be gentle with the dough and avoid over working it. -
8Press the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle or circle. Cut into even sized pieces. Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheet with at least 1/2 inch between each scone. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the large-grain or sparkling sugar.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden along the bottom and tops.
