Method
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
STEP 2
Place the coconut sugar, oil, yogurt, vanilla and lemon rind into a bowl and whisk to combine.
STEP 3
In a separate bowl, mix the flours, almond meal, chia and baking powder together to combine. Make a well in the centre, add the yogurt mixture and use a butter knife or a flat spatula to gently mix the dough until almost combined. Add the frozen blueberries and stir through.
STEP 4
Lay the dough out onto a large baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Using lightly floured hands, bring the dough together and flatten out into a rough 20cm (8 inch) round. Using a sharp knife, cut into 8 pieces and sprinkle the top with demerara sugar.
STEP 5
Bake for 45 minutes or until golden-brown.
STEP 6
Serve with creamed honey, if you like.
