Honey Vanilla Scones
These honey vanilla scones are a perfect breakfast or snack. Made with healthy ingredients they are really easy to make and naturally gluten free and paleo.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup honey

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!

Can I use cashew meal, or does it need to be super fine flour?
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 🙂
could I use another flour to be AIP compliant you think? (coconut, arrowroot, tapioca?) looks SO good!
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!
