Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 8 scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly to eliminate any lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, honey, and eggs until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but hold together well.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into a circular disk approximately 1-inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the disk into 8 equal triangular wedges, slightly separating them to allow even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve at room temperature and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: For the best results, use a kitchen scale to measure your almond and coconut flour. This ensures the right texture and consistency in your scones.
- Chill the Coconut Oil: If your coconut oil is too warm, it may affect the texture of your dough. Let it cool slightly after melting to prevent it from cooking the eggs when combined.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until a dough forms. Overmixing can lead to dense scones instead of light and fluffy ones.
- Customize Your Add-ins: Feel free to get creative! You can substitute dark chocolate chips with nuts, dried fruits, or even spices like cinnamon for a unique flavor twist.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your scones as they bake. Look for golden edges and a toothpick that comes out clean to ensure they’re perfectly baked.
- Store Properly: To maintain freshness, store any leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to three days, but they’re best enjoyed fresh!
