Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cup all-purpose flour (180g)
½ cup almond flour (54g)
2 Tbsp cornstarch
3 Tbsp sugar of choice , use monk fruit sweetener for lower carb option
¾ tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder

ADD INS*

1 cup finely shredded zucchini , (112g) loosely packed

WET INGREDIENTS

¼ cup melted coconut oil (50g)
⅓ cup heavy whipping cream of choice , cold. Either plant-based or regular dairy-based heavy cream is fine

Instructions

Make the Dough

In a medium 4-quart mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, almond flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix well.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt coconut oil in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Add the cold heavy whipping cream of choice
Set aside the melted coconut oil and cold heavy cream mixture and set aside for 1 minute, or until the coconut oil starts to harden into gravel-sized pieces.
Add the coconut oil-cream mixture to the dry ingredients all at once, and use both your hands to bring the dough together.
Mix in the shredded zucchini.
📝TIP: instead of "kneading" the dough, use the flat of your palm to press the dough into shape. Think of it more as gently pressing and shaping rather than traditional kneading, which can make the scones tough. It's also ok if the dough is not completely smooth.

Shape and Cut the Dough

Flatten the dough into a disk-shape and pre-heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). For best results, chill the dough for at least 20 minutes while the oven pre-heats.
📝TIP: You can also freeze the dough as is to bake later! Wrap in a ziploc bag or plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month.
Cut the dough into 6 equal wedges using a pastry cutter or knife.

Bake the Scone

Place the wedges on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
If baking from frozen, bake for 30-35 minutes.
Enjoy!
