    Course: Baking, Breakfast, Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Prep Time: 20 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 15 minutes minutes
    Servings: 6
    Calories: 519kcal
    Author: Dr. Erin Carter

    Ingredients

    • 3 1/2 cups almond flour
    • 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil
    • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1/3 cup honey
    • 1 egg or 3 tablespoon of water

    Instructions

    • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
    • Melt the butter or coconut oil and place it in a large bowl.
    • Add the remaining ingredients to bowl and mix well with a pastry blender
    • Place the dough on a sheet of wax paper and press into a large ball surrounded by the wax paper.
    • Place dough with wax paper surrounding it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes (this isn't necessary but helps the dough stay together and makes it easier to work with).
    • Form 3 inch round discs with dough and place on a baking sheet (this should make about 6 scones).
    • Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops of the scones are golden brown in colour.
    • Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!

    Notes

    1. This recipe yields 6 scones. 
    2. These scones freeze really well. 
    3. To make them dairy free use coconut oil instead of butter.

      Unfortunately I don't think avoiding the nut flour is possible for this one. You would have to change the portions so dramatically and add other ingredients like eggs. I will try to develop an alternative recipe in the future since I know many of my readers can't have nuts. Sorry I wasn't more helpful!

      could I use another flour to be AIP compliant you think? (coconut, arrowroot, tapioca?) looks SO good!

      To be honest I have never tried these with anything other than the fine almond flour meal. I imagine cashew meal would also work though! It would probably be delicious 🙂

      Can I use cashew meal, or does it need to be super fine flour?
