Ingredients

  • 3 cups blanched almond flour
  • ¾ cup arrowroot starch
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup butter, chilled
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • ⅔ cup almond milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not defrost if frozen)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9" cake pan with parchment paper and grease with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, salt, and coconut or regular sugar. Using a fork and knife or a pastry cutter, cut butter evenly into the flour mixture until it resembles small peas.
  • In a small bowl mix together egg, almond milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
  • Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients until thoroughly incorporated. Add blueberries and mix. Batter will be thick. Tip dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Pat out to a circle (½" thick). Using a dough scraper or large knife, cut circle into 8 triangles. Separate triangles slightly.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges of the scone are golden-brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean with few crumbs.
