Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees; grease the center area of a baking sheet.

In a large bowl whisk together the flour blend, oats, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cocoa. Using your fingertips work the butter into the dry mix evenly, forming pea size clumps.

In another bowl whisk together the purple puree, ricotta, buttermilk, 1 egg, sugar and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. Stir in the choco chips.

Place dough on prepared baking sheet and form a large circle. Cut into 8 wedges. In a small bowl beat the remaining egg with 1 tsp water. Brush the tops of each wedge with wash and dust with sugar.

Bake 14-16 min until edges are lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean.
