COCONUT FLOUR SCONES (OR BLOBS)
A modified and healthified version of a coconut flour biscuit recipe I came across while trying to find something to satisfy my scone cravings. They're not really scones, they're more like under-enthusiastic drop biscuits. But MAN are they ever good. I really don't like the taste of coconut.. but not being able to eat wheat I decided to give coconut flour a try, enticed by its high fiber content and relatively appealing nutritional value. There is barely a hint of coconut in the taste, it mostly just adds a slight sweetness. These are wheat free, void of refined sugar, FULL of fiber and protein. I know that I'll be back to tweak this recipe once I have more time to experiment with it and modify the consistency of the batter which should be rather easy, but I wanted to post it before I did in hopes that if someone was looking for a coconut flour recipe like I was, they might enjoy these as much as I did :)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400.
- With an electric mixer, beat together eggs, egg whites, applesauce, honey, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, sift coconut flour and baking powder together (include the cinnamon at this time if you are using it), mix and add to first mixture.
- Beat thoroughly until batter runs smooth with no lumps. It'll be unsettlingly runny. You'll be convinced you've either done something wrong or I've totally messed up on my liquid measurements. Have faith, it'll be okay!
- By hand, mix in the berries/fruit/chocolate chips.
- Spoon the distressingly runny batter onto a nonstick (or lightly greased) cookie sheet, making blobs about three inches across. Don't worry, they'll puff up quite nicely! Leave room for them to expand and spread out, about two inches between them to be safe. Yes, I know they look flat. It's okay, honest.
- Place in oven and bake for 8-14 minutes. I know ovens vary so keep an eye on them. When they are lightly browned around the edges, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before attempting to move them onto a cooling rack. Use a very flat spatula to take them off the sheet, but do so slowly, they crumble easily when warm.
- Enjoy!

COCONUT SCONES WITH COCONUT GLAZE
Steps:
- Make the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar and shredded coconut in a bowl. Beat in the butter with a mixer on low speed, then raise the speed to high and beat until the mixture is in coarse crumbles.
- Whisk the coconut milk, eggs and coconut extract in another bowl, then stir into theflour mixture until just combined. Stir in the pecans; do not overmix.
- Scoop 2-to-3-inch mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets (a large ice cream scoop works well for this). Sprinkle the tops with sugar and bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the coconut milk, coconut and vanilla extracts and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a bowl until smooth, adding more sugar as needed to thicken. Drizzle over the scones while still slightly warm.

Tips:
- Use high-quality coconut flour. Not all coconut flours are created equal. Look for a finely milled, light-colored coconut flour that is free of impurities.
- Measure your ingredients accurately. Coconut flour is very absorbent, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Otherwise, your scones may turn out dry or crumbly.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make your scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the scones to rise properly and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the scones at a high temperature. This will help the scones to rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
- Let the scones cool before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the scones to firm up.
Conclusion:
Coconut flour scones are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional scones. They are gluten-free, grain-free, and low in carbs. They are also a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. If you're looking for a tasty and nutritious breakfast or snack, give these coconut flour scones a try!
