Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (240g) white whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup (65g) coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp (10g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt
  • 1 large (50g) egg, cold
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh rhubarb, diced into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup (60g) pecans, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) milk
  • 1 tsp (5g) coarse sugar

Instructions:

  1. Combine the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
  3. Stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk the cold egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula just until the dough begins to clump.
  6. Gently fold in the diced rhubarb until distributed, avoiding over-mixing.
  7. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  8. Slice the circle into 8 equal wedges.
  9. Place wedges on a parchment-lined sheet, brush the tops with milk, and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
