These gluten free Chocolate Chip Scones taste so irresistible that you will be tempted to eat the whole batch! These are not dry and crumbly as other scones and take just a few minutes to make using healthy ingredients.
Traditionally, scones made with white flour have a crumbly texture and are slightly hard and dry on the inside, but not these chocolate chip scones! These have a much more tender and moist consistency on the inside, almost like a soft, buttery chocolate chip cookie.
The method of preparing this recipe is similar to traditional scones. The main difference here is that these are made with no grains or refined flours. Instead, a blend of almond flour and arrowroot starch is used. These wholesome flours are then combined with healthy fats from organic, grass-fed butter and full fat greek yogurt. They are lightly sweetened with raw coconut palm sugar and mini dark chocolate chips.
Before you make this recipe I have to warn you that they taste so irresistible that you will be tempted to eat the whole batch!
