Prep: 10 minCook: 30 minTotal: 30 min
Servings: 8 1x
Ingredients
For the scones:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tbsp. agave nectar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- 3 Tbsp. poppyseeds
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened, flaked coconut
- 1 pinch sea salt
For the glaze:
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp. heavy cream
- 1–2 tsp. lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Whisk together the melted butter, cream, eggs, agave nectar, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir in the poppyseeds.
- Next, add the almond flour, coconut flour, coconut flakes, and sea salt. Mix well.
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken before pouring it out on a cookie sheet* lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- Spread the batter into about an 8-inch disc.
- Bake for 20 minutes and remove the sheet from the oven. The scones will not be completely cooked, but cut 8 slices out of the disc, making individual scones.
- Return the sheet to the oven for 8-10 minutes to finish cooking. The scones will be just set in the middle.
- Let them cool for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet before carefully transferring to a wire cooling rack.
- When the scones are cool, mix together the glaze ingredients and generously drizzle over top of each scone.
Tips
- If you have one, use a cookie sheet with no lip so that it’s easier to slice and remove the scones.
