Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated and a soft dough forms.
If using optional dried cranberries or chopped almonds, gently fold them into the dough at this stage.
Transfer the dough to a flat surface lined with parchment paper or lightly dusted with almond flour. Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or dough cutter, slice the circle into 8 equal wedges (like a pizza). Carefully transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the scones feel firm to the touch.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the scones warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
