Gluten Free Cinnamon Scones
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca flour + more for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons butter Earth Balance, vegan
- 1 whole egg
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon + more for dusting
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, tapioca flour, salt, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or 2 forks until it resembles tiny pea-sized balls.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, agave nectar, and vanilla.
- So lets prep before we mix the wet and dry ingredients: Tear off 2 large pieces of parchment paper. Use one to line a baking sheet and dust the other one with tapioca flour.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix using your hand.
- Transfer to tapioca dusted parchment paper and roll in flour then form a circle about 1/2 in to 1 in. high.
- Mix together the topping ingredients.
- Use a pizza cutter and cut into 8 equal parts. Then drizzle the topping on and spread out with a spoon or your hand, which is what I prefer.
- Carefully transfer the scones to the baking sheet place about an inch apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Dust with extra cinnamon and serve with coffee!
