Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut flour (60g, measure with scales if possible)
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut (75g)
  • 1 cup granulated sweetener (50g)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ cup butter (76g, melted and cooled)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 large egg yolk (beaten, for brushing)
  • Shredded coconut (for sprinkling)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your scones bake evenly and rise beautifully.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, desiccated coconut, granulated sweetener, and baking powder. This will ensure that all the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your scones dense.
  5. Using your hands, gently form the dough into a round disc about 1 inch thick. This will give you that classic scone shape. Cut the disc into wedges, or use a cookie cutter for fun shapes.
  6. Place the scone wedges on a lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg yolk, then sprinkle shredded coconut over the top for an extra crunch and beautiful presentation.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature with your favorite spread!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • These scones freeze well; wrap them in plastic and place in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with coconut oil or ghee.
