Easy Blueberry Almond Flour Scones
These gluten free almond flour scones have a tender center and a lovely golden crunch.
dailyrecipesbook.comThese scones have become a household favorite because they turn out perfectly tender every single time. Using almond flour gives them a wonderful texture that feels light but satisfying. They are quick to prepare and come together with simple ingredients you might already have in your pantry.
I love adding fresh blueberries and a bit of lemon zest to brighten the flavor. If you want that bakery style finish, just add a light sprinkle of raw sugar on top before they go into the oven. They are best enjoyed warm with a cup of tea or coffee.

๐ก Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you prefer, you can keep them in the fridge to help them stay fresh longer. Warm them up in a toaster oven for a few minutes to bring back that delightful crispy edge.
