Lemon Chia Scones

I came across a recipe for clean eating scones on pinterest and then simply adapted/changed it up a bit to make it gluten/grain free and refined sugar free. The recipe as I use it as follows:

1TBS. Fresh Lemon zest

3TBS. Coconut nectar (I also threw in just a small spoonful of coconut palm sugar.) Feel free to use whatever sweetner or sugar you prefer

2TBS fresh squeezed lemon juice

4tsp Chia seeds (although I added in more!)

1/2tsp. Salt

1tsp. Pure Vanilla extract

1 1/2 Cups flour (for me this was Cashew flour to make them completely grain free. If you are only going for gluten free you can swap it for your GF flour or combo of flours of choice. Rice, Millet, Quinoa,etc...)

2TBS. grass fed butter (I havent tried yet, but butter alternatives would probably work such as non dairy butter, coconut oil, or mashed avacado)

1/2cup Plain unsweetened Greek yogurt. (Again I havent tried, but other dairy free yogurts should work, or goats milk yogurt)

*set aside 2tsp Milk (I used cashew milk) to brush the tops of scones before baking .

-of your batter is thick/dry enough to split into scone shapes ahead of time go ahead and place onto baking dish atop parchment paper. If it seems to wet/gooey, simply place batter on parchment lined baking dish in one big pile and then cut them afterwards.)

Bake at 425° until tops are browned and the centers seem done. Cool and enjoy.
