Description
Delightful and nutty gluten-free scones made with almond flour, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or nuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently to form a soft dough, avoiding over-mixing.
- If adding optional ingredients, fold them in at this stage.
- Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small rounds, about 2-3 inches apart.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden-brown. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Allow cooling slightly before enjoying warm with your favorite toppings.

Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container to retain moisture.
