My mom recently purchased some high quality almond flour from Anthony's Almonds after hearing about how good it was for baking, and because she is amazing she sent me a big bag of it. And boy were those people right about this almond flour for baking!
It also perfectly coincided with the fact that when I was at Walmart last week, I saw that they had cinnamon chips. I know that these are not Paleo at all, but I love them so very much and the grocery stores never sell them (other than for Christmas I guess), so I just went for it and decided to use them in moderation. And one of my favorite baked goods in the world is cinnamon scones. So this provided the perfect opportunity to experiment with Paleo scones, which I had never made before.
This recipe can really be more of a base and you can make them into whatever type of scones you want. You could add dried fruit, nuts, different types of chocolate chips, or whatever else you can think of. Or you could just keep them plain and eat them with some juice sweetened jam. The possibilities are really endless.
Paleo Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Scones
*Yields 6 scones
Ingredients:
1/4 C butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy free)
1/4 C honey
1 egg
1 T vanilla
2 C almond flour (if you can, order the good stuff from Anthony's Almonds)
2 T coconut flour
1 t baking powder
pinch of sea salt
1 t cinnamon
1/2 C dark chocolate chips (or desired mix-in)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a cookie sheet with coconut oil
2. In a small bowl, melt butter and stir in honey
3. Add egg and mix until combined
4. Mix in vanilla
5. In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients
6. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix well (it will form a doughy ball)
7. Add chocolate chips or other mix-ins and stir until combined
8. Dump dough onto a flat surface and form into a flat circle about 1/2 inch thick, and cut into 6 pie shaped pieces
9. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake for 17-20 minutes (depending on oven temperature)
Enjoy!
