Paleo Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Scones made with almond + coconut flour for an easy healthy scone!
Paleo Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Scones are HERE. The first sweet recipe of 2018 is ready for you guys.
In case you are relatively new around here, I am all about creating recipes that are made with real ingredients. I don’t want anyone to sacrifice flavor for health or think that they can’t eat a baked good because it’s not “healthy”. We can have our cake and eat it too and not feel guilty about it. I’m not into juicing or depriving and I definitely am not living my life without my baked goods.
I use ingredients like almond and coconut flour, avocado oil, sprouted oats and more in my recipes. You won’t find much refined sugar or regular flour or even dairy-based milk around here. I love finding new products to add to my daily eats and drinks that also make me feel good. Like Vital Proteins!
Vital Proteins is one of my most favorite products. I truly love and believe in their products and have seen such a benefit by using them. They have a variety of product lines now focusing on collagen peptides but my favorites are the collagen peptides, marine collagen and bone broth collagen. They don’t have any taste to them and you can add them into pretty much anything. I love to bake with collagen as well as add it to my smoothies and tea. Jord loves using it in his coffee (it dissolves easily in hot beverages!)
I love that I am adding protein to my food and drinks and by using collagen, I am also adding an extra boost for my hair, skin and nails. It also helps with digestion, joint health and more.
These Paleo Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Scones are a delicious recipe using collagen peptides. Once you are done baking and enjoying these, I also have a handful of more recipes on the blog featuring collagen peptides!
WHAT YOU NEED
Almond flour
Coconut flour
Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
Almond milk
Egg
Chocolate chips
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THESE
- They are made with almond and coconut flour providing extra healthy fats
- These Paleo Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Scones also include collagen peptides (more on that above)
- These scones are low in sugar and in fact have no added sugar besides the chocolate chips!
- They come out a bit more “moist” than your traditional dry scone (likely why I love them!)

Hi Rachel! Might be a silly question – but can you just use regular sweet potatoes instead of the puree? I am looking to make some sweet potato skins for the SuperBowl and am thinking of ways to use all the sweet potato insides and thought of this recipe!
Rachel
it should work! but add them to food processor so they turn into puree.

Hi Rachel,
Can I omit the collagen peptides if I don’t have them on hand?
Rachel
sure just add more flour!
Harriet
I love sweet potato and I love scones – but never combined, I will have to try this. Thanks

Hi Rachel, what’s your standard substitute flour for almond flour? Would oat or a mixture of another gf flour with coconut work? Thanks 🙂
Rachel

Hey Rachel! Do you think these would freeze well? I’m planning to make these but don’t think I could eat them all in time!
Rachel
Absolutely!
