Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cover a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together with a fork. Pour 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil on top of the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until everything is clumpy and almost looks like "sand".
  • In another bowl, whisk the coconut milk, 3 eggs, vanilla, and maple syrup together. Pour this mixture into the large bowl with the clumpy "sand" mixture. Mix everything together with a fork. At first, the mixture will seem too wet, but keep mixing. Mix until there are no clumps left, then let the mixture sit for a few minutes so the coconut flour can absorb and thicken the mixture.
  • Take the dough out of the bowl with your hands and make it into a ball. Then put the ball of dough onto a clean surface and flatten it with your hands, until it is an 8 inch circle. It will look like a VERY thick pancake.
  • Cut the dough in half, then in fourths... etc... until the dough is cut into 8 scones. Using a spatula, separate each scone and place them onto the covered cookie sheet.
  • When all the scones are on the cookie sheet, use a silicone baking brush to brush on a little bit of the whisked egg white on top of every scone. (You will have a lot of egg white left)
  • Bake the scones at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
  • While the scones are baking, mix the 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 1 tsp of coconut milk, and 1 Tbs of maple syrup together in a small bowl. Let the frosting sit and settle.
  • Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet. Once cool, evenly sprinkle the frosting onto each scone.
  • Note: make sure to cover uneaten scones with aluminum foil so that they don't dry out.
