GF Orange Scones

By Coach Maria - Salus Nutritionist & Food Expert

I love scones.

They're not overly sweet like most baked goods or pastries and the variations of different ingredients you can use are plentiful.

These scones have a light texture with a savory orange flavor!







Ingredients
8 servings

2 c blanched almond flour
1/4 c arrowroot flour (plus 2 Tblsp)
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tblsp pure maple syrup
1/4 c coconut oil
1 egg
Zest of 1 orange
Optional: slivered almonds for garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In bowl, mix dry ingredients until combined (except 2 Tblsp arrowroot flour).
In another bowl, mix wet ingredients until combined and smooth (a mixer works great).
Pour wet into dry ingredients and blend until evenly combined.
Add orange zest, mix and then add the 2 Tblsp arrowroot and mix until thickened.
Form dough into a ball and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Flatten slightly and cut dough into 8 equal wedges.
(Optional: garnish with slivered almonds)
Bake for 20 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly.
