These delicious gluten-free Strawberry-Walnut Scones are made with Melt® Organic and coconut flour. They are the perfect breakfast or brunch treat with English breakfast tea – crispy on the edges, soft and flavorful inside with just a touch of sweetness from the strawberry jam. This recipe makes eight scones, so you can freeze and thaw individually for a quick breakfast treat. We have Tammy Credicott and her book, Paleo Indulgences, to thank for the fabulous recipe adapted here.
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups raw walnuts
¼ cup coconut flour, sifted
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp sea salt
