Alpha Gal Friendly Earl Grey Lavender Scones

These floral, fragrant scones are the kind of baked good that makes a weekend morning feel genuinely special. Steeped Earl Grey tea weaves a subtle bergamot flavor through every bite, while dried culinary lavender adds a delicate floral note that pairs beautifully with the honey drizzle on top. For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, traditional scones can be a minefield — butter, cream, and milk are everywhere in classic recipes — but this version relies on coconut oil and a single egg instead, keeping mammalian-derived ingredients out of the picture entirely. Oat flour and almond flour give the crumb a tender, slightly nutty texture that holds together beautifully without any dairy to bind it. The honey drizzle, made with that same reserved Earl Grey tea, ties everything together with a glossy, lightly sweet finish that feels far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. These bake up golden at the edges and just set in the center, exactly the way a good scone should. Whether you're serving them at brunch or sneaking one with an afternoon cup of tea, they're the kind of treat you'll want to make on repeat.
