Gluten free, dairy free and packed with flavor, almond flour scones!

These amazingly delicious dark chocolate scones are a hit with our non gluten-free friends as well, so you can feel confident serving these yummy little morsels of goodness 🙂

They’re easy to prepare and aren’t overly sweet; using agave nectar and organic dark chocolate chunks, these scones are low glycemic and still pack a yummy little chocolate punch! Appropriate for breakfast or desert so go ahead and indulge; your family and friends will love you for these! Since they’re low glycemic I don’t mind giving this  to our son for dessert, though I don’t make a habit out of it – always striving for balance, right?
