Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 whole Eggs
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted)
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.25 cups Optional: Dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries) or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and milk until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a thick, pasty batter forms. Coconut flour is very absorbent, so let the mixture sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken further.
If using, gently fold in the dried fruit or chocolate chips.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop 6 evenly-sized mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet. The blobs should resemble scone-like shapes but don’t need to be perfect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones pair wonderfully with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
