INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- It makes the scones naturally moist and tender. Flour makes a smooth dough and lighter scones. You may use homemade finely ground almond flour as per your preference.
BAKING POWDER:
- It helps to raise the scones while baking and gives a lighter texture. Baking powder keeps the scones from getting too dense. You may use a homemade mixture of baking soda and cream of tartar as an alternative.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- It helps the scones to hold their shape while baking. Coconut flour absorbs the moisture from the almond flour and gives better dough structure. Include oat flour if you are not using coconut flour.
PURE MAPLE SYRUP:
- It gives a natural sweetness and moisture in the dough. Maple syrup provides the scones a subtle caramel-like taste. Agave syrup is good to include as a substitute.
MELTED VEGAN BUTTER:
- Butter gives a rich taste that gives bakery-style scones. It keeps the crumb soft and tender. You may use avocado oil as another choice.
PECANS:
- They become lightly toasted while baking and give a crunchy topping. Pecans make the scones look beautiful. You may use walnuts as an alternative.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, include baking paper on the sheet and warm the oven to 350°F.
- Mix ground flaxseed and warm water in the small bowl to make a thick gel.
- Whisk baking powder, almond flour, salt, & coconut flour in the bowl properly.

- Place the dough on the baking tray & shape into a 1-inch-thick circle.
