    Paleo Chocolate Chip Scones with a Kombucha Ube Glaze

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These Paleo Chocolate Chip Scones with a Kombucha Ube glaze was gone so fast.  I mean like a day and a half fast.  The rule in this house is, if no one eat what I make you ain't getting anything new as my freezer is super full already.  Any other recipe developers out there have the same problem??

    What is Ube?

    I've been wanting to make an Ube recipe for a long time.  What is Ube you ask?  This video best explains why it's not the purple sweet potato in your grocery store.  The only place you can find it fresh is at an Asian Market, specifically ones that sell a majority of Filipino food like Seafood City.

    With the pantone color of the year being a vibrant purple, using it as a natural coloring agent is super popular right now.  It actually doesn't taste like anything, like a normal potato its pretty bland that is why traditionally lots of butter, sugar and condensed milk is added to bring out some flavor.

    There hasn't enough Filipino recipes on here and that is going to change this year.  Starting with this recipe that dips into using Ube in a non traditional way.

    How to Make Ube Glaze

    To make the ube glaze I used ube powder mixed with some Heath-ade Kombucha, then used the left over Kombucha to have with the Paleo Chocolate Chip Scones.

    Ingredients

    Paleo Chocolate Chip Scones

    • 2 Cups Almond Flour
    • ¼ Cup Unflavored Pea Protein Powder
    • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Powder
    • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
    • ½ Teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt
    • 2 Eggs at room temperature
    • ⅓ Cup Almond milk at room temperature
    • 2 Tablespoons Date Syrup
    • 2 Tablespoons Melted and cooled Coconut Oil
    • ½ Cup Mini Vegan Chocolate Chips

    Kombucha Ube Glaze

    • 2 Tablespoons Ube Powder
    • ¼ Cup Health-ade Original Komboucha

    Instructions

    Paleo Chocolate Chip Scones

    • Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
    • In a bowl mix together the almond flour, pea protein, baking powder, vanilla powder and salt.
    • In a separate bowl mix the eggs, almond milk, date syrup, coconut oil together. When thoroughly mixed pour into the dry mixture and mix until fully incorporated. Add in the dried blueberries and mix well.
    • Cut the dough in half and mound each dough on the lined baking tray. Flatten out the dough and form 2 dough circles. Cut each circle into eight pieces to make mini triangle scones.
    • Bake for 20 minutes. Once done place in a basket lined with a napkin and cover to keep warm. Serve with your choice of jam and butter and curd.

    Komboucha Glaze

    • Place the ube powder and komboucha in a small bowl and let sit for about 10 minutes for the ube to re-constitute.  Mix well to get any lumps out and pour over the scones.

      Your scones look scrumptious! I'm completely fascinated by this powdered purple yam to color food. I have a huge Asian grocery store in my neighbored so I'm going to have to see if they carry it.

      Never thought of using Kombucha for a glaze, great idea. I have seen Ube at our local market but never knew how to use it. Great post and these scones looks amazing.

      oh YUMMM I love kombucha and I love ube so this sounds like perfection! Interesting to hear about the differences between ube and just 'purple sweet potato'. I love baking with them and will have to try this!

      I have never tried kombucha and have no idea if it's vegan but these sure look delicious. I always love tour photography, too.
