RECIPE WEDNESDAY - Paleo Blueberry Scones

I love getting recipe ideas from Greatist.  I always feel like they do such a good job with their articles and blog posts.  I also have found all of their recipes to be spot on!  Here is one I personally can't wait to try!

Crumbly, delicious scones don't need tons of gluten. These are free of refined grains, sugars, and oils; and full of healthy fats, antioxidants, and flavor. They are perfect for Paleo eaters or anyone looking for a sweet but healthy treat. (Can't find cashew flour? Grind some up at home with the nuts and a blender.)

9 Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups cashew, almond, or hazelnut flour
• 1/2 cup arrowroot flour
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a bowl, combine cashew flour, arrowroot flour, salt, and baking powder.
3. In a second bowl, combine coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and egg.
4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and stir using a spatula until a well-combined dough forms.
5. Fold in blueberries. Pour batter into a round 9-inch pan.
6. Bake for about 30 minutes, until crust becomes golden brown. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting with a pizza cutter or knife.
