Calories: 379kcal
Ingredients
- 2 overripe bananas
- 1 egg plus 1 egg for egg wash - optional
- ¼ cup coconut milk full fat
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ⅓ cup cashew butter or nut butter of choice
- 2 cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¾ cups tapioca flour plus a little more when forming the scones
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips dairy free
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. In a bowl, beat together the overripe bananas, egg, coconut milk, and vanilla until creamy. Make sure there aren't any large chunks of banana left in the batter.
- Add the coconut sugar and cashew butter and mix well to incorporate. The coconut sugar should dissolve into the liquid.
- Gently mix in the almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, and baking powder until the flours are combined. Then add the chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips and fold into the batter.
- Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper sprinkled with a little extra tapioca flour. Shape the dough into a flat circle. It's best to dust your hands with a little extra tapioca flour as the dough will be sticky. Use a piece of string or floss or a sharp knife dusted with flour and cut the circle into 8 triangles. To do this, make a large X through the middle of the circle and then a big + through the middle.
- Brush each scone with an egg wash (optional) and then transfer the parchment paper to a baking sheet. The scones can be left in their circular shape touching each other - this actually helps to keep the sides nice and moist. Bake in the oven for 14 - 16 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
- Sprinkle the scones with extra pecans and chocolate chips while still warm and then let them cool down slightly before enjoying!
