Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups Almond Flour Provides the perfect tender texture and a subtle nutty flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Helps create a light, fluffy rise.
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest Elevates flavor with a bit of citrus zing.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large Egg Acts as a binder for moisture; replace with a flax egg for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup Adds a hint of sweetness; consider honey or agave if preferred.
  • 4 tablespoons Melted Butter or Coconut Oil Ensures richness; coconut oil is a great dairy-free choice.
Add-ins
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips A delightful way to sweeten the scones.
  • 1 cup Fresh Berries Perfect for a burst of fruitiness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and lemon zest.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, maple syrup, and melted butter.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ones, mixing until well-blended.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and fresh berries gently to maintain their shape.
  6. Spoon the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming small scone shapes.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool (if you can!).

Notes

Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 days, or refrigerate for freshness up to a week. Freeze them for up to a month. Reheat in microwave or oven.
