Almond & Vanilla Gluten Free Protein Fruit Scones

I am a huge Scone fan!!! so I decided to make an attempt at baking some clean healthy Fruit Scones.  The fat content is obviously high with subsidising out flour for ground almonds and having some mixed dried fruit in there too, but I look it as being good fats.

They taste amazing! and a very good tasting substitute to the real thing.  I must admit I am still not 100% happy with this recipe and feel that perhaps with some apple sauce added to the mixture it will give it more moisture.... again its all trial and error as with everything in the fitness industry!!!

Makes 20 Scones

300G of Sainsbury's Ground Almonds
2 tsp of Gluten Free Baking Powder Dr Oetker
60ml Sainsburys Almond Oil
15g Rowse Light & Mild Honey

1 teaspoon Dr Oetker Vanilla Flavouring
50g My Protein Vanilla Impact Whey
25g Sainsbury Pre Soaked Mixed Frut


  1. Pre Heat Oven to 150
  2. In a bowl mix the ground almonds and baking powder
  3. add the remaining ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until into a dough
  4. Roll into 20 even dough balls then pat down with the back of a fork
  5. Put in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes
  6. Put on a wiring rack and leave to cool.
