Chestnut Free Earl Grey Lavender Scones

Floral, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweet, these scones are the kind of treat that makes an ordinary afternoon feel like a proper occasion. Steeped Earl Grey tea weaves a subtle bergamot flavor through every bite, while dried culinary lavender adds a delicate floral note that never tips into soapy territory. Oat flour and almond flour form the base, giving the crumb a tender, slightly nutty texture that holds together beautifully without any wheat or tree nuts like chestnuts in sight. Solid coconut oil stands in for butter, creating those satisfying flaky layers you want in a scone, and a honey drizzle made with reserved brewed tea ties the whole thing together with a glossy, aromatic finish. The dough comes together quickly — no stand mixer, no fuss — and after about 17 minutes in the oven, your kitchen will smell absolutely incredible. Whether you're serving these at brunch or sneaking one with your afternoon cup of tea, they feel genuinely special without requiring any hard-to-find ingredients.
