Lemon Raspberry Yogurt Scones

Lemony baked goods are perfect for spring because they add brightness and freshness. These scones are chock-full of lemon zest, which really helps that lemon flavor to shine through. The tart raspberries, sweet sugar topping and the nutty almond flour are an amazing flavor combo. Serve these at your next breakfast or brunch gathering paired with hot tea.




1. Preheat oven to 400. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flours, coconut, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

3. Add the lemon zest and butter and use a pastry blender or fork to work the mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk,  yogurt and vanilla together. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Fold in the raspberries.

5. Place dough on a floured work surface and shape into a circle. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

6. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
