Lemon+Poppyseed Scones (GF, Paleo)
These beauties need no introduction! They are your classic lemon poppyseed muffin flavors reincarnated into scone form 😍.
I don’t know about you, but lemon+poppyseed has always been one of my favorite flavors for muffins and loaves (along with orange+cranberry… which I may have to experiment with next!).
These scones would be AMAZING for weekend brunch or a with a cup of tea in the afternoon. I can also attest from personal experience that they are excellent for dessert 😉.
Tender, crumbly, sweet and lemony, warm out of the oven…. is your mouth watering yet?!
PLUS – they are adaptable for both paleo and keto diets (if that’s your thing)!
Oh and did I mention they are SO SIMPLE to make? Let’s get baking!
Lemon Poppyseed Scones
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1¼ cup almond flour
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup granulated sweetener*
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- zest of two lemons
- 3 Tbsp poppy seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil I used refined for less coconut flavor
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup nut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
For the Glaze (sweeter option)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar**
- 2 tsp nut milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 pinch sea salt
For the Glaze (less-sweet option)
- coconut butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to mix.
- Combine wet ingredients in a different medium bowl and whisk to mix.
- Add wet ingredient to the dry ingredients, and stir to combine.
- Pour mixture onto the baking sheet lined with parchment, and form into roughly a 8" circle (it helps to wet your hands a bit).
- Cut the circle into 8 pieces and gently separate from each other. I like to use a thin spatula to slide them apart.
- Bake 20 minutes or until browned around the edges.
- To make the glaze, mix the powdered sweetener, lemon juice, nut milk, and pinch of salt with a spoon. Once the scones have finished cooking and cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
- Faceplant!
Notes
If you’re wondering where to buy some of these ingredients, I highly suggest Thrive Market for all your pantry needs. I purchased everything for this recipe (besides the lemon and egg) from them! They’ve got really good prices and are just a stellar company.
