Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 4 tablespoons Melted Butter or Coconut Oil
Add-ins
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Fresh Berries
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour and baking powder, stirring until evenly blended to prepare the base of your scone dough.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, maple syrup, and melted butter or coconut oil until fully combined to provide moisture and flavor.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, ensuring a uniform dough without overmixing, which helps keep the scones tender.
- Fold in add-ins: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, fresh berries, and lemon zest to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Shape the dough: Using about ¼ cup per scone, scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for baking expansion.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top and slightly firm to the touch, indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm, optionally adding your favorite toppings for extra enjoyment.
Notes
- You can substitute the egg with a flax egg to make these scones vegan-friendly.
- Coconut oil can be used instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
- Feel free to swap maple syrup with honey or agave syrup depending on your preference.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for a flavor twist.
- These scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
