Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup tapioca flour
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder (use paleo to avoid cornstarch)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/3 cup sustainably sourced palm shortening (this recipe was made with Spectrum)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened or refined sugar free chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (store bought or click for homemade recipe)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix in a bowl tapioca flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  • Add the shortening and break up into mixture using your fingers or fork until the shortening pieces are the size of peas.
  • Stir in chocolate chips. Add almond milk and vanilla extract. Mix together until combined, but do not over mix.
  • Scoop dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet.  Using a rolling pin, work the dough into a 7” diameter flat circle. Put the dough circle in the freezer for 15 minutes. Take out of the freezer and cut the circle into 6 pieces (or 8 if you want smaller ones).If the dough is sticky and hard to cut, wetting the knife helps. Separate each scone so they are spaced out at least an inch (you may need to use a spatula to pick them up and shift them on the baking sheet).
  • Brush each scone with almond milk and sprinkle a small amount of coconut sugar on each. Put in the oven and bake for 20-22minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on a baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes. Remove scones from the baking sheet and place on a cooling rack to finish cooling. Enjoy once cooled or store in a loosely covered container (a tightly covered container will make them softer).
