So as I continue to go through my recipes and repost to my blog I am starting to sense that going Paleo has converted me into a Baker and I am ok with that because these creations are amazing. Enjoy.

I tried making these the other day and was totally frustrated! It seemed like the ratio of dry to wet ingredients was nowhere near where it needed to be. After mixing the wet into the dry, it was a bowl full of dry ingredients. I desprately added coconut oil, but it didn’t do much. I had to add tablespoon by tablespoon of water as a desperate attempt to transform it into a dough-like texture. Eventually I had a pathetic display of dough and baked it. It just seemed like it wasn’t even remotely close to enough wet to dry. Am I missing something? (I don’t have a food processor. I was doing it by hand.) Thanks!
Erin,
I don’t know. I make this recipe over and over again and it is the same everytime. Did you substitute anything? This sounds really odd
I finally made these, and I love them!! I didn’t have dried blueberries, but they still turned out great! I LOVE scones, so it’s nice to have a healthy alternative. They’ve been great for my morning sickness too as food isn’t that all appealing to me lately. Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes!
Oh that’s awesome. I am do glad you love them and you can eat them with your morning sickness :)
I made these last night with blackberries instead of blueberries and 1 tablespoon of honey and one of xylitol instead of syrup and they were absolutely delicious!! Love the website George, keep up the wonderful work! :)
Thank you Rachael :)
I made these last night and they were absolutely delicious! For those curious I used blackberries instead and subbed 1 tablespoon of honey and xylitol each and they were still really sweet. Love the website George, keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you so much Rachael :)
I made these with dried cranberries and no chocolate chips bc my daughter recently revolted when I put choc chips in some paleo almond banana muffins. They were delicious!
So glad you loved them
While craving bacon this morning, I came to your site for bacon recipes…I found this scone recipe and tweaked it by omiting blueberries and coconut, adding bacon, mashed banana, peanut butter and macadamia (why not!) And boy am I in a happy place right now! Thank you for your inspiration!
Holy moly that sounds amazing Wendy
Oh wow, I am drooling. I believe you can only make things better by adding bacon and I look forward to making these with your tweaks, Wendy!
I just made these but with raisins, cinnamon, and walnuts. I remember how good these kinds of scones were pre-grain-free. They came out AWESOME!!! Thanks!!!
Your welcome
I am drooling a little bit….also i am hesitant about the syrup/honey. I try to stay as clean/paleo as I can w/out spiking my blood sugar. I am currently grain/gluten free and as little sugar as I can possibly manage…could I use erythritol (or Swerve) to sweeten them naturally w/out the added sugars of syrup?
I’m also fairly new to the paleo “rules”….it just happens to be how i eat by accident. I didn’t know there were actual rules :)
Thanks for all your hard work George! You look incredible!
Heather
Thank you for the kind words Heather. I am unfamiliar with those ingredients as the only sweeteners I use are honey, maple syrup, or sometimes coconut sugar. It may work but you will have to experiment
Heather, my husband is a diabetic and when his diet is good, and I have Paleo treats onhand, such as Paleo brownies, pancakes, etc., local pure honey and pure maple syrup does not spike his blood sugar. Just an FHI. Has to be pure though and local if possible.
This hit my fb newsfeed just in the nick of time. I needed something to bring to work tomorrow for a birthday.
Can I ask what is with the Enjoy Life chips? I have been seeing them a lot in paleo recipes!
They are a gluten free, grain free, dairy free chocolate chip
I’m severe coconut allergic. Do you think these would come out okay if I omitted that ingredient? Or is there something I can sub for it?
Erica you sure can leave it out and it will be fine :)
I just put this in the oven, lets see how they turn out! =)
I LOVE THESE, hope you do to
I made these as drop cookies. They were delish!
That sounds delicious
Oh my, these look absolutely delicious. Don’t have any blueberries right now, but think they would work without them? I’ll let you know how it goes.
I think they will work fine but wont taste as good lol
I made these last night, so easy, so quick, so good!
So glad you loved them. This is one of my all time favorites
Wow this recipe is amazing. I made a batch with maple syrup as suggested and they were great, but i prefer raw honey as a sweetener so i made another batch with honey instead and they were just as good. Thanks for the great website!
You are so welcome Nathan. I am glad you tried both versions and fell in love. Keep up the great work
What size across are your scones? I only got 3 out of a half-batch! :(
No they arent supposed to be that big, I make them little, maybe 2 inches at the widest part
We just made these this morning. They are awesome!! I used fresh blueberries instead of dried and they turned out excellent:) Thank you for an awesome recipe!!!
You are so welcome, so glad you enjoyed them :)
You are so welcome
These are the best! My whole family loves them. Thank you so much for the awesome recipe!
Baking now.had to add more syrup and some eggwhite to get texture to "mold" into shape
Oh I love these too Jenna, they are amazing
Loving these!
