Ingredients
- For Scones:
- 1 cup almond flour (grind your own, see below*)
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp edible rose petals, slightly crushed when rubbed between your fingers
- 1 tsp beet powder, optional for pink color
- 1/4 cup coconut/palm sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (might be able to eliminate but will be more crumbly)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup non dairy milk, room temperature
- 3 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil or Earth Balance, melted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- For Drizzle:
- 3 Tbsp coconut butter, melted**
- 1 tsp agave
- a couple drops of almond extract
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients (almond flour through salt).
In a small bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.
Add to dry and stir to combine until it forms a soft dough that sticks together in a ball.
If the mixture is too wet, add in a little bit more almond flour and if it’s too dry, add a drizzle of milk.
Press together in a ball and flatten into a circle onto parchment paper lined baking sheet
Cut into 8 wedges and gently spread them apart.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden on top.
For drizzle, combine all ingredients and stir. Spoon over scones and enjoy!
Variations: Add 1/4 cup of your favorite mix-ins to this batter along with the dry ingredients (dried cherries, cranberries, goji or strawberries would be great additions to fit with the pink theme) – chocolate chips or carob chips, ground cinnamon, or flaked coconut would also be delicious. The rose petals and beet powder didn’t affect the taste like I had hoped so this is a good base recipe for grain free and egg free scones to build on!
*Homemade Almond Flour: To make your own almond flour, add 1/2 to 1 cup of blanched almonds (I used the blanched slices) to a cup of your Magic Bullet fitted with a “S” blade (or a food processor) and pulse several times until you achieve a flour consistency. Do not over process or will turn into a crumbly butter! Sift to eliminate any chunks you may have missed and there you have it!
