Ingredients

500 g Gluten Free flour blend Cup4cup, Bob's Red mill 1:1 or King Arthur
224 g raw coconut sugar sugar
½ tsp. salt
364-400 g coconut cream* unsweetened
1 tbsp baking powder
1 - 1 1/2 cups lily's dark chocolate chips or mix in of choice

Instructions

Combine the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine and break up any clumps.
Add your chocolate chips (or other mix ins) and toss to coat with flour.
Add half the coconut cream, stir a few times, then add the rest of the cream, and stir until a mostly-cohesive dough forms. Finish bringing the dough together by hand, until there are no more noticeable dry spots but the dough should still be clumpy, don’t overwork!
*see recipe notes
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and divide into two even sized piles. Use your hands, pat the dough into two circles that are about 6 inches wide and 3/4 inch high. Cut each circle into 8 triangles.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a half sheet pan with parchment or a silicon mat.
Evenly space on the parchment lined half sheet pan and rest while the oven pre-heats. Bake at 350 for 25 min. Rotate half way through baking.
Scones are done when the bottoms are browned and they have a light golden brown crust.

Notes

*Start with the lesser amount of cream and drizzle on more when mixing if your dough is not coming together.

*When mixing the dough I usually use my hands and squeeze it together in clumps until there are no crumbly dry spots. It is important not to overwork the dough - you don't want to use a mixer and you do not want to mix until it is a smooth dough, clumpy is good!
