Servings: 12 scones
Calories: 381kcal
Ingredients
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
- zest of 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 pound almond flour/meal
- 2/3 cup raw walnuts chopped
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut oil, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and grated ginger.
- Add the almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and mix until well combined.
- Add the walnuts, chocolate chips, and honey. Stir well to combine and/or use your hands to moosh everything together. The "dough" should be thick, sticky, and crumbly.
- Form scones with your hands, pressing the dough firmly and pushing the walnuts and chocolate chips into each scone so that they don't fall out. Place scones on large a non-stick baking sheet and bake on the center rack of the oven for 14 to 18 minutes, until scones are golden-brown around the edges.
- Allow scones to cool 15 minutes before using a spatula to remove them from the baking sheet.
- Enjoy your treat!
