Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup arrowroot flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries (add more if you prefer)
- glaze
- 1/4 cup confectioners sugar (gluten-free brand) (I use an organic brand with ingredients of just sugar and tapioca starch)
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon about 1/2 of orange juiced (can also use almond milk)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Prepare a baking pan by lining with parchment paper.
-
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, place the dry ingredients and whisk until all (or most) lumps are gone. Almond flour tends to have lumps.
-
Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well (I use a large spatula).
-
Place mixture onto the prepared baking sheet with parchment and shape into a circular round about 1 inch in thickness. Cut into four - six pieces.
-
Separate pieces so they are not touching and can bake this way.
-
Bake for 20 minutes or until slightly browned on top.
-
Let cool and serve. Can be stored in airtight container.
Recipe Notes
Optional: top with glaze once cooled. To make glaze, place confectioners sugar and orange juice in a bowl and whisk until it forms a smooth glaze. You may need to add a little more sugar or orange juice to get the right consistency. An alternative to orange juice is almond milk or another non-dairy milk.
Helpful Baking Tips:
- Tip: try to have all ingredients room temperature.
- Tip: if the dough is too sticky, add a bit more almond flour.
- Tip: You can shape the dough and pieces into any shape you like (square, round, etc...)
- For Chocolate Chip Paleo Scones - replace the cranberries and orange with dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Try Savory Paleo Scones by making the basic scone recipe (without additional flavors). Perhaps, add fresh herbs, chopped bacon. Or make a breakfast sandwich. I like to enjoy plain paleo scones with jam!
