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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut oil, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and grated ginger.
  3. Add the almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and mix until well combined. 
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Allow scones to cool 15 minutes before using a spatula to remove them from the baking sheet.
  7. Enjoy your treat!
