Ingredients

For the Scones:

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup cold grass-fed butter or ghee
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 2 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds (+ more for garnish)

For the Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup coconut butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp almond extract
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  • Make the ghee or butter is cold. If using butter, cut into small chunks. Add the butter or ghee to the dry mixture using a pastry knife or food processor. Cut or pulse until the mixture is cumbly.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut milk, and almond extract. Pour into the dry mixture and incorporate using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Continue to mix until no dry pockets remain. Now gently fold in the blackberries and almonds.
  • Transfer the dough to the fridge and let chill for at least 30 minutes (you can also freeze).
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using another piece of parchment paper, place the dough on the paper. Using a rolling pin or your hands, roll the dough into a large circular disk. If it's too sticky, use some tapioca starch and sprinkle on top.
  • Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet. Pin extra almonds into the wedges if desired. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown and fluffy.
  • Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Now make the glaze. Stir together the coconut butter, maple syrup, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. If too thick, add in 1 tbsp of water until you get a thinner glaze. Drizzle on top of each scone and serve.
