Sometimes I get tired of the same old breakfast – eggs and bacon. Sometimes I want something bready for breakfast, like I used to eat. Since I can’t eat grains or dairy, I’ll sometimes make these Paleo Bacon & Chive Scones and slather some coconut oil on ’em. If I make a big batch, they store well in the fridge or freezer so I don’t have to make breakfast or snacks for myself for a while.
I know that baked goods can be sort of a gateway to overeating, even if they’re savory baked goods like these . They might even cause you to binge, or give you a good medium for stress-eating. It used to be dangerous for me to bake because I knew I’d just eat the whole batch (or close to it) in one sitting.
If you have a similar problem with sweets or baked goods – or whatever – I want to help you! I kicked my old habits of stress-eating, bingeing, and I even got rid of my intense sugar cravings by changing what I ate subtly, and by changing my attitude and behaviors around food.
The result?
- I lost the last 5-7 pounds I’d been struggling with
- I’m more at peace around food
- I only eat when I’m hungry
- I don’t have anymore guilt about eating
I’d love to help you do the same!

Delicious! Made them this morning for breakfast.
Hi Neely, what a great recipe, would that make 6 scones, each one being 10 carbs? My son is Type 1 diabetic so need to count the carbs.
Thanks very much
Julia
Julia Harvey – Yep, just as the nutrition info states: 10 carbs in each of the 6 scones.
These look and sound really yummy. This is going straight to my recipe file and I will be making them soon! Looking forward to the webinar too. Thanks for sharing!
Can you use almond milk in place of coconut milk? Or just regular milk? I hate to open a can for such a small amount.
Paula – Sure! I don’t think it’ll make too much of a difference.
Any tips for those allergic to almonds?
What I usually do is substitute with half coconut flour and half tapioca flour, going a little heavier on the tapioca flour. However, you have to add liquid of some kind, and eggs are a good option. Add 6 eggs for every half cup of coconut flour. I know it’s a lot!
Neely,
I’m in the same boat with almonds but I cannot have too many eggs either. May I add coconut milk as the liquid source instead of eggs? Thanks!
Bonnie- You can certainly try! Please let me know how it goes
