    A Quick Recipe Overview:

    Keep scrolling for the full recipe. We’ll start here with a quick rundown!

    • Preheat oven to 350°F.
    • Combine dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk.
    • Cut coconut oil into dry ingredients using a fork or pastry cutter.
    • Combine wet ingredients in a separate bowl and mix well.
    • Drizzle wet ingredients into dry and mix very gently. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
    • Dust a handful of almond flour onto a clean, dry countertop. Empty dough onto surface and split in half. Form two balls and pat them down a little so they're flat on top.
    • Use a knife or bench scraper to cut each ball of dough into 8 pieces, making 16 small scones.
    • Bake for 18-20 minutes. Make glaze while scones are in the oven.
    • Allow to cool, drizzle with glaze and sprinkle with raw sugar. Enjoy!

    EXPERT TIPS:

    • Don't overmix dough: combine ingredients as gently as possible and leave dough crumbly! This will create nice texture in your scones.
    • Almond flour: I like using Wellbee's Almond Flour for this recipe. When baking with almond flour your want it to be blanched and SUPER fine. This brand truly is very fine and works great for all kinds of gluten free baking!
    • Cutting coconut oil into almond flour.
    • Adding egg mixture to almond flour and coconut oil.
    • Dough for scones in a glass bowl.
    • Dough for scones formed into a flat disk.
    • Dough disc cut into 8 pieces.
