Ingredients
  • 2 cups almond meal
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp flax meal
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 ripe pears, skin on, cored and chopped into 2cm cubes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • demerara sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180C, line two baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together flours, flax meal, baking soda and spices. Mix in melted coconut oil, rubbing it into the flour mixture with your fingers until it resembles fine crumbs. Gently mix through chopped pears.
  3. In a small bowl, gently whisk eggs with vanilla extract and maple syrup. Pour over the scone batter and gently mix with a wooden spoon until dough comes together. Leave for five minutes for coconut flour to absorb excess moisture.
  4. Seperate dough into six portions, shape into triangular scone shapes and place on prepared baking trays. Sprinkle a little demerara sugar over each scone and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
  5. Remove from oven and cool for five minutes, then gently move to wire rack to cool completely.
