Paleo Cinnamon Maple Sugar Scones (aka doughnuts!)

A while ago a dear friend of mine asked me to develop a paleo doughnut recipe. Well, I was really at a loss as to how to accomplish this. Deep frying in coconut oil, while delicious is very expensive. Then tonight as I was making scones, I noticed that this particular variety tasted just like a doughnut! A delicious paleo doughnut! Enjoy these baked goodies with your favorite hot beverage and good luck keeping your kids away from them! (the scone recipe base is from elanas pantry, I just changed up the flavors and the sweetener)



Paleo Cinnamon Maple Sugar Scones

2 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tbsp maple syrup
maple sugar (for dusting)
cinnamon (for dusting)

Preheat oven to 350. In large bowl mix almond flour, soda and salt. Add egg and syrup, mix with spatula or wooden spoon until well combined. Press out onto parchment paper into 6.5x6.5 inch square. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon nad maple sugar. Cut into 16 squares. Spread out onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes until scones just start to brown. Cool slightly and then enjoy! (Warm scones just melt in your mouth)

Amazing Paleo Biscuits!

So a while back I tried my hand at paleo biscuits. They were okay, but definitely left me wanting better. I have since developed a better biscuit recipe. Serve these along a fantastic egg breakfast or along with your favorite soup. They are just yummy!



Amazing Paleo Biscuits

2.5 cups almond flour (I used a blend of blanched and not blanched)
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp grass-fed butter (or another fat of choice)
1 tbsp honey
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350. In large bowl mix together the dry ingredients. In small bowl mix together the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Dump the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and roll or pat out to 1-1.5 inch thick (these do not rise much so whatever thickness you roll them out to, is what they will be). Cut into rounds using cookie cutter or biscuit cutter. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
