Strawberry Coconut Flour Scones

Scones served with a cup of tea or coffee in the morning is the perfect way to start the day! These Strawberry Scones are not too sweet, but the burst of real summer strawberries in every bite makes them welcome on a cold, winter day. I used a set of heart-shaped cookie cutters to make these extra special and a fun treat to serve at a Valentine’s Day afternoon tea! 

Strawberry Coconut Flour Scones

Makes 12 servings

1 cup coconut flour (122 grams)

1/4 cup granulated sweetener (I used a combination of powdered monkfruit sweetener and allulose), adjust to taste

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 large eggs, room temperature 

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 

1/3 cup (23 grams) freeze dried, no sugar added strawberries, roughly chopped 

½ cup (126 grams) sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, room temperature 

½ teaspoon strawberry extract 

1. Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

2. Sift dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl until there are no lumps. Stir in the eggs until fully combined and dry ingredients are moist.

3. Cut in the butter until fully combined. Using a pastry cutter can be a helpful tool.

4. Stir together the sour cream and strawberry extract. Add the sour cream mixture to the dough and stir until fully combined and a smooth dough as formed.

5. Form dough into a ball and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes to allow the moisture to be absorbed into the coconut flour. Place the dough back into the mixing bowl and allow to sit at room temperature for about five minutes before proceeding.

6. Line a clean work surface with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Carefully press the dough out into a circle until about 1-1/4 inch thick. Using a round biscuit cutter (or any shaped cookie cutter), cut out 12 scones. (Alternately, you can use a pizza cutter and cut the circle of dough into triangles.)

7. Transfer the scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between the scones. If desired, brush the tops of the scones with melted unsalted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.

8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely. The scones may be served warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
