Chocolate Almond Scones

Serves: 10|Prep: 35 min

Who loves scones… we do!! These mouth watering chocolate and almond scones taste delicious and are super nutritious. They will satisfy the whole families craving for “something yummy”. The base is made from almond flour, which is high in fibre and protein, a combination which will help to stabilise blood sugar levels and keep little bellies (and bigger ones) feeling satisfied for longer. They can be eaten alone… or with a spread of butter, cream or coconut cream and topped with berries, cinnamon and a dash of maple syrup.

1 cup almond flour
½ cup buckwheat flour
¼ cup carob powder
¼ cup cacao powder
¼ cup of ground flaxseed
½ tsp himalayan rock salt
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
⅓ cup coconut butter, liquid form
2 eggs
⅓ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup coconut sugar

3.	In a processor, place coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs and extra sweetener you have chosen - coconut sugar, maple syrup or stevia - and process until smooth
4.	Add all remaining ingredients and process until a thick dough is formed
5.	For each scone, use 1/4 cup of batter and shape into a round messy ball
6.	Make sure you space out scones so they do not touch each other

Tip:

Replace the almond meal with pumpkin seed meal for a school-friendly option.
