This grain free Wild Blueberry Coconut Scones recipe is super easy to make and has the same comforting, crumbly feeling of a decadent bakery scone. Paleo. Gluten-free. Grain-free.
So, I will be 100% honest. I had no intentions of making a Wild Blueberry Coconut Scone recipe….ever. Haha But, I was watching t.v. one night and the girls on the show were eating scones and all of a sudden it just hit need. I. Need. A. Scone. NOW!! Kid you not. I literally got up off the couch and made these. I always tell my clients when a craving hits, satisfy it. So, I took my own advice and satisfied my cravings for a scone in less than 30 minutes. (Ok, maybe 35 because I had to take some photos of them for you first!)
I went with wild blueberries because I had a bag of frozen ones on hand and because blueberry breakfast recipes/desserts remind me of my times on Cape Cod when my dad or grandparents would take us to Bonatt’s Bakery to get the most incredible blueberry melt-a-ways! What I would give to have one of those at this very moment! If you are ever on Cape Cod, you must go there! But, I digress. You could use any fruit you like, chocolate chips, nuts, seeds, etc.!
You could also opt to top these off with a coconut butter glaze…..which I was very tempted to do but was too lazy to make happen before shoving one in my mouth! If you went with a chocolate chip version, a peanut butter drizzle would be delicious too!
