Blueberry Lemon Almond Scones (Healthy-ish)

Have you ever had scones with almond flour? I have created a healthier scone that tastes amazing even without the butter! These Blueberry Lemon Almond Scones are made with coconut oil and greek yoghurt. Sweetened with a little honey and packed with bursting blueberries and a hint of lemon and almond.

Makes a great breakfast or afternoon snack with a cup of tea. Eat them as they are or topped with a little chia jam

Ingredients you will need to make these Scones with almond flour, blueberries and lemon:

• All purpose flour or gluten free flour
• Almond flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Honey
• Greek yoghurt
• Coconut oil
• 1 egg, half for the dough and half for brushing the top
• Zest of a lemon, I prefer to use organic
• Fresh blueberries

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine all the wet ingredients and the zest of one lemon. Whisk to well combined.
3. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and then fold in to the wet ingredients. Gently fold in the blueberries.
4. The dough will be sticky. Flour your hands and place the dough on a parchment paper and shape to a 6-8 inch circle, adding more flour as needed. Cut into 8 wedges and separate them a little.
5. Brush with the reserved egg and sprinkle with sugar and almond flakes.
6. Serve with a little butter or chia jam

I thought about glazing them, but decided they’re perfect just the way they are. They are not too sweet and have a lovely crunchy crust from the sprinkle of sugar and almonds.

I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do!
