Red Meat Allergy Friendly Earl Grey Lavender Scones

Floral, fragrant, and just sweet enough, 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 depth through every bite, while dried culinary lavender adds a delicate perfume that pairs beautifully with the honey drizzle on top. The base comes together with oat flour and almond flour, so there's no wheat and absolutely nothing from the red meat family anywhere in the ingredient list — just wholesome, naturally allergy-friendly components from start to finish. Solid coconut oil stands in for butter, giving the scones a tender, slightly crumbly crumb that holds together beautifully when you pull a wedge apart. The honey-Earl Grey drizzle at the end is a small step that makes a big difference, adding a glossy, lightly floral finish that looks far more impressive than the effort involved. These come together in one bowl and bake up golden in under 20 minutes, making them an easy win for a weekend brunch or an afternoon tea spread.
