Mediterranean Diet Friendly Earl Grey Lavender Scones

Floral, fragrant, and just sweet enough, these scones feel like a proper afternoon treat without any of the heaviness of a traditional bakery version. Oat flour and almond flour replace refined white flour, bringing a nutty depth and a tender crumb that pairs beautifully with the bergamot notes of Earl Grey. Coconut oil stands in for butter, honey does the sweetening, and the whole thing comes together with just one egg — a lineup that leans naturally into the whole-food, plant-forward spirit of Mediterranean-style eating. The dried culinary lavender is the real star here, adding a subtle floral lift that makes every bite feel a little special. Steeping the tea directly into the dough and then reserving a spoonful for the honey drizzle means that bergamot flavor runs all the way through, not just on the surface. The drizzle itself is dead simple — just honey and brewed tea stirred together — but it gives the finished scones a glossy, bakery-worthy finish. These are the kind of thing you make on a slow weekend morning and feel genuinely good about eating.
