Ingredients

  • 1 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/3 cup 100% pure maple syrup
  • 4 T. organic, grass-fed butter, cold
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk beverage
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 4 T. fresh orange juice
  • 1 T. orange zest
  • 1 cup organic cranberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free white chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 395°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: tapioca flour, cassava flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
  • Cut the cold butter into small chunks and add it to the mixing bowl along with the maple syrup. Use a pastry cutter to cut the ingredients into the flour to create a crumbly flour mixture.
  • Add the coconut milk, orange juice, and orange zest. Stir to combine. Fold in the chopped cranberries and white chocolate chips. Stir until the batter forms a ball.
  • Divide the dough in half. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper with cassava flour. Place half of the dough on the parchment paper and form it into a disk that is 3/4-1" thick.
  • Cut the disk like a pie, into 8 slices. Place each slice on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining half of dough.
  • Bake the scones for 15-18 minutes. The bottoms should be lightly browned. Let cool for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
