Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, melt the coconut oil and then stir in the honey until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Fold in the cranberries and orange zest, mixing gently just to incorporate.
Turn the dough onto a flat surface dusted with a little extra almond flour. Shape into a flat round disk about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
