Healthy Chocolate Chip Scones

Scones are one of my favourite foods so I was so happy when I made these grain free scones. I added dark chocolate chips as I just love chocolate in everything, but this can be substituted for blueberries or anything you want. They taste like real scones only better, and you know that they’re good for you so it’s guilt free. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did so here’s the recipe. 🙂

Makes approx 9 scones

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup of Almond Flour

3 tbsp of Coconut Flour

4 tbsp of Honey

1 egg

4 tbsp of Almond Milk (or any other milk)

3 tbsp melted Coconut Oil

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup of Dark Chocolate Chips

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C.

2. Grab a large mixing bowl and add the almond and coconut flour, honey, egg, melted coconut oil, baking powder, salt and 3 tbsp of almond milk.

3. Mix until a loose dough forms then fold in the chocolate chips.

4. Line a baking tray with baking paper, take a heaped tablespoon of mixture and place on the baking tray, shaping it to look like a scone. Continue until there is no mixture left. (You can make the scones as big or as small as you want)

5. Once all scones are shaped use the remaining tablespoon of almond milk and brush over the scones for a glaze.

6. Place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy!

Healthy Lemonade Ice Block

So I made these ice blocks today and they turned out to be delicious! The lemon flavour makes it so refreshing and perfect for a summer’s day. With only a few ingredients they are so simple to make and they freeze in only a few hours. Here’s the recipe 🙂

Note: for this recipe you will need ice block containers. Below is a picture of different kinds, mine is very similar to the one on the top right but any will work for this recipe.

Ingredients:

2 lemons

water

frozen berries

2 tsp Stevia (optional to make it sweeter)

Method:

1. Grab a large mixing bowl or jar to hold the liquid and pour about 5 cups of water into it.

2. Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons into the water, add the stevia and mix together.

3. Grab the ice block container and pour the liquid into one compartment, leaving room at the top so it doesn’t overflow when the berries are added.

4. Add a few berries into the same compartment and put the ice block handle over the compartment.

5. Continue this until all of the compartments are filled.

6. Wait a few hours or until they’re frozen and enjoy!

Tasty Snack

I thought I’d share these fabulous spreads with you as they are healthy and are so delicious. They are a great substitute for spreads such as Nutella or peanut butters packed with other hidden ingredients. My favourite is the peanut cacao spread which only contain the ingredients cacao and peanut and is perfect to use on toast or with fruits and vegetables.

A healthy snack that I love to eat is a cut up apple with the paste as it tastes amazing and adds another element to the snack. It is so filling so you won’t feel like eating anymore and is so delicious.
