Feel free to sprinkle some slivered almonds or toasted coconut on the chocolate before it dries for extra-pretty scones.

Makes 8 to 12 scones

2 cups gluten-free flour, plus extra for rolling out dough
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking soda
2 tablespoons matcha love powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil, melted
1 large egg
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup brown rice syrup
1 large egg yolk, beaten
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional)

For finishing:
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Slivered almonds or toasted coconut (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, matcha powder, and sea salt.

3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg, applesauce, and brown rice syrup. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

4. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and lightly flour your hand. Gently knead the dough, just until all the flour is incorporated. Mold the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk. Cut into eight to 12 wedges (like a pie).

5. Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the egg white and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar, if desired. Bake on the middle rack until golden brown and baked through, about 14 minutes; cool completely.

6. Melt dark chocolate chips over a double boiler. Dip scones in melted dark chocolate or drizzle with the chocolate; sprinkle with almonds or coconut flakes, if desired.
