The holidays are here!!!!!! That means tons of traditional treats coming our way. One of these traditional treats is candied fruit. I never knew this was a thing until recently and I can’t believe I never really knew about it! The Paradise Fruit Company sent me a large variety batch and I have had a blast creating recipes with my goodies. While there are tons of recipes for baked goods, there are not many grain free recipes out there. I’m excited to share with you a grain free scone with candied cherries, pineapple, and orange peel.

I had several people who don’t eat gluten free taste these and they loved them. Once I got their approval I just had to share with you! Let’s get to the recipe.

Scones Recipe

For this fabulous grain-free recipe you will need: 1 cup of finely ground almond flour, 1/4 cup coconut flour, 2 tbsp raw cane sugar (optional but gives a great texture), 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp almond milk, 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, 1 large egg**, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of the candied cherry pineapple mix and 1 tbsp candied orange peel.

If you like to top with a glaze mix together 1 tbsp melted coconut oil, 1 tsp raw sugar, 2 tbsp candied orange peel.

** To make egg-free: use one flax egg plus 3 more tablespoons of almond milk. You make one flax egg by combining 1 tbsp flax meal with 3 tbsp water, mix and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
