Lemon scones, a sweet breakfast treat that can be enjoyed if fresh from the oven, have a lingering taste of lemon when you bite into them. However, it's not just the citrus fragrance that makes them great, it is also their texture, which is a close replica of actual scones. A warm and soft crunch on the outside serves as a gateway for the deliciousness of these bakery treats. We've prepared an easy lemon scones recipe for you to replicate this with just a few ingredients.

When I went about researching crumpets, the recipes, for the most part, were made up of ingredients that I would never keep in my kitchen (baking flour, shortening and buttermilk to name a few). Instead I opted to make some gluten-free lemon scones recipe using my newest favourite ingredient- Young Living’s Lemon Essential oil . I served them with my Strawberry Butter (video and recipe tomorrow) and I didn’t have one left at the end of the afternoon.The rising agent is affected by placing a dough in a cool oven that slowly heats up.

The lemon essential oil has some of the most diverse uses and I plan on dedicating a post to this next week. In short- the zesty fresh scent and taste of lemon is uplifting to the spirit and energy levels. A perfect boost for Spring. In addition to adding the lemon to baking, as I have done with my scones, it give a delightful zing to salad dressings and sauces- but again, more on that later. Here is my lemon scones recipe.

Lemon Scones Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups nut and/or seed flour (can use a mix of nuts and seed: almond, walnut, pecan, pumpkin, sunflower, flax)
• ½ cup gluten free flour
• 3 Tbs  coconut oil
• 3 Tbs apple puree (organic unsweetened apple sauce works well)
• ½ cup raw honey
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
• 3 eggs (or equivalent egg replacer)( Adds flavor, lift, and structure.)
• 2 Tbs lemon zest
• 2 Tbs poppy seeds
• 3-4 drops Lemon Essential Oil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Grind nuts in blender or coffee grinder and dump into large mixing bowl, mix in baking soda and salt.If you use more than you need, the scones will most likely be tough.
3. Place eggs, coconut oil, apple puree, lemon oil and honey into blender and mix thoroughly and add to nut mixture
4. Add in lemon zest and poppy seeds
5. Lightly oil muffin tin tray of line tray with cupcake liners, or cover cookie sheet in parchment paper
6. Spoon batter into tray or dollop onto cookie sheet- all depends what shape you want your scones.Using floured hands, form a disc out of a bit of dough. A larger disc will result in a larger, moister scone.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes

Then you can serve with your favoruite jam, spread or enjoy as is with few friends over and have your own little tea party . Next time, I’ll be calling mine Tea and Scones. Who needs crumpets?
