Gluten-Free Scones: Delicious & Easy? Bake on!
I love gluten-free recipes.I'm not celiac myself, but many of my friends are, and I like cooking for people I love.I like cooking easy recipes that can feed all my peeps in one fell swoop - and this gluten-free recipe satisfies a diverse crowd.Because I love connecting with people. We host brunch once a month to bring our diverse group of friends together and share time and our home.Food holds such emotion for us because sharing food & eating together is the most intimate thing we do with other people - in public.(Like that idea? Tweet it here!) And I want to share the deepest intimacy with my friends as possible - to make them all feel welcome.This recipe is one of the best for welcoming everyone's dietary leanings and food rules to the table. Not only can gluten-free people dig in, but they welcome the vegans, the paleo-leaning (ok, there is maple syrup, but it's pretty close).Orange Hazelnut Scones with Raisins, Almond & Coconut FlourIngredients: 1 1/2 cups of almond flour½ cup unsweetened coconut flour1/4 tsp of sea salt1 tsp of baking soda1 egg replacer2 tbs of maple syrup2 tbs freshly squeezed orange juiceZest from one organic orange1/3 – 1/2 cup unsweetened almond, coconut, rice or other plant-based milk1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts (pecans are a great substitute, especially if you’re from Texas like my grandma)½ cup raisins Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes it easier to lift the cooked scones as they won’t stick to the sheet.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, sea salt, and baking soda.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg replacer, maple syrup, orange juice, zest, and milk.
- Combine the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until blended together. If the dough seems too dry and isn’t sticking together, use another tablespoon or two of milk.
- Add the hazelnuts and raisins and use your hands or rubber spatula to evenly distribute through the dough.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop out evenly sized scones and place scones on a parchment lined baking sheet and gently press down to flatten to 1/2 in thick with palm.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the tops are golden brown, and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
