What makes these almond flour scones healthier

When I set out to make this recipe I knew I wanted to create a healthier recipe that didn’t lack flavor or texture. The combination of these gluten free flours allows for moist, flavorful and perfectly crispy scones. Also, these flour alternatives are nutrient rich!

Firstly, using almond flour as the main flour really provides the best texture for these scones. It adds a slight nutty flavor and also has other nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium. It is also a great source healthy fats!

Secondly, coconut flour is used to help add texture. It is also rich in fiber!

Thirdly, tapioca flour is another great gluten free flour substitute. It is very starchy so it adds structure to these scones.

Lastly, coconut sugar is used as the sweetener. It is an all natural, plant based sweetener. I love baking with coconut sugar as it is a slightly healthier alternative than regular sugar!
