I have been getting a ton of questions lately about what I eat for breakfast, or what people can prepare in advance to grab for breakfast. I already have a few awesome recipes that can be used. Make my Paleo Banana Bread in muffin form and grab them and go. Make my Paleo Pancakes and freeze them in advance. Or make my other varieties of scones I already have posted; cranberry orange and blueberry chocolate chip. If none of those tickle your fancy, I am here to save the day again with this delicious new recipe I created. It has been tested and approved at one of the amazing local establishments in Temecula. Thank you to the amazing Leah who owns E.A.T. Marketplace and is making waves in the real food and slow food movement. She took these and sold them in her marketplace, people loved them and no one knew they were Paleo, awesome.
From start to finish, these delicious treats took me maybe 20 minutes including cooking time so these are a great night time snack to bake up and keep on hand. Of course, you can always modify these to your liking. You can add fruit, you can add chocolate, or any other flavors that make your mouth water. If you do though, please leave me a comment and share your culinary creations with me. I love reading about all your creativity and trying to incorporate it into my cooking.
One thing you may notice, is I started using grams in the recipes. It is a little more effort but if it can help just one of you I will make it happen as often as I can. Do you find it helpful or is there something else you would like to see? Let me clarify, in the formatting of the recipe. Not to be blunt, well actually yes to be blunt, I am not going to start calculating nutritional information on my recipes. I share with you all the food I make myself and that is not something I track. There are some awesome sites like Fit Day and My Fitness Pal that make it easy if you are interested. I will not steal anymore of your time, as always thank you for the support and if you love my recipes, please share them. It helps me deliver more awesome content.

You bring joy to my tastebuds! These are delicious. My husbands comment, “Make more!”. :)
I didn’t have raw apples, so I used half a cup of no sugar applesauce and another half a cup of the moist kind of dried apples. I had to bake them for 20 minutes because of the extra moisture, but they are soooo good.
do you think you could make these with brown rice flour? cant have almonds
Lauren I am sure it will work great but since I have never used brown rice flour I can’t tell you for sure
It says 6-8 slices, I followed every step and used every single ingredient yet it was only enough dough to make 4 very small round scones, about the diameter or a regular cookie but twice the thickness. What did I do wrong why does it seem to be so very little dough? Thanks!
I really don’t know Steph, I have used this recipe over and over again
Absolutely delicious! Not too sweet, moist, and chewy. Loved them.
Awesome, thank you Melissa
I made them with pears, and my hubby wants more. So a good thing.
Woohoo
Thanks for creating and posting this!
I had substituted some of the almond flour for sweet potato and potato starch, it was poofy, but still real good. I loathe coconut, so I left it out, and next time I make it, I think I’ll add more apple. Made a fantastic breakfast sandwich!
That sounds awesome
Do you think Coconut flour would be a suitable substitute for the almond flour, my husband is allergic?
No it will not work in this recipe, no where near close, sorry
Can you reccommend any substitutions for the shredded coconut?
Hmmm they are only there for a slight texture and taste, you can try leaving them out
I made them with the coconut anyway. They are really good!
That’s even better news
Awesome stuff !! Just made these tonight snapped some pics and through them on FB with a link to your site !! Love your site !!
Thank you Mike
