Delicious coconut cinnamon scones

I was given the recipe for these delicious scones by a fellow athletic club member and just fell in love!  I can't wait to make them again and add some nutmeg and I already have plans to use orange peel and cranberries in them next holiday season!  Enjoy!

 

Ingredients:

½ cup coconut flour

½ cup arrowroot flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup butter, coconut oil or palm shortening

3 Tablespoons ground flax seed

6 Tablespoons milk, kefir, or coconut milk + 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup honey

6 large medjool dates, chopped

1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions:

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, stir together ground flax, milk, honey & vanilla. Let sit for about 10 minutes.

Whisk together dry ingredients in large bowl. Cut butter into mixture, using pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Stir in flax mixture until completely mixed. The mixture should be somewhat dry, but should come together like pie crust. If too dry, add in cold water a teaspoon at a time.

Add in chopped dates and nuts.

Scoop the large ball of dough onto parchment lined baking sheet.

Flatten into a disk about ½ inch thick. Slice into 8 wedges with a sharp knife.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until edges are slightly brown.
