Coconut, Chocolate-Chip Scones (Gluten-Free)

Happy Monday, I hope your week is off to a good start! This morning I had a major craving for Chocolate Chip Scones which is my favorite breakfast treat but something I don’t have often. For years I’ve had all sorts of silly digestion problems that a healthier diet has made a big difference on (more organic foods, less Gluten/processed junk, etc.), so sometimes it’s nice to toss in a Gluten-free baking recipe here and there for good measure. 🙂

These Chocolate Chip Scones with Coconut happen to be both Gluten and Dairy-free and I certainly can’t taste the difference, they are SO yummy; especially when you grab one just moments after it’s gotten out of the oven! These take just moments to prepare and bake quickly as well so give them a try and bring them into school or work to share with others. ❤

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
• 1 egg
• 3 tbs maple syrup
• Pinch of salt

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, chocolate chips, coconut and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, using a mixer, mix together the egg and maple syrup.
4. Add the egg mixture into the large bowl of dry ingredients and fold together using a spatula. Transfer to a almond-floured surface or pastry board and gently knead a few times until ingredients form together to make a dough. Roll out in a circle until 1/2 inch thick, then cut it into triangles like you would for a pie.
5. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until golden-brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few moments before digging in to enjoy with a cool glass of milk. Yum!
