Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups Blanched almond flour
- ¼ cup Tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon Paleo baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 large organic free-range egg or 1 Flax egg (1 tablespoon flax + 3 tablespoons warm water, let sit 5 minutes)
- ⅓ cup Coconut oil (solid)
- ¼ cup Honey (use maple syrup or sugar in place of honey)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 cup organic dried blueberries (or other dried fruit of choice)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup Paleo chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9″ round pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined.
- Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients and crumble it with your fingers until the mixture resembles sand.
- Stir in the flax egg (or regular egg), honey, vanilla extract, almond extract, dried blueberries, and any optional add-ins of your choice. Mix until a dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Once chilled, remove the dough from the fridge and press it evenly into the lined 9” round pan.
- Bake the scones in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the scones to cool slightly before slicing them into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!
