Hello hello my friends! Today was Day 1 of the 30 Day Fitness Challenge. I’ll post about that shortly in a separate post.

But, before we get into the running, I wanted to share this quick little recipe. It’s a riff off of the Nom Nom Paleo Scones which I made a while back with a couple tweaks. Those scones are sweet, but these are savory and stuffed with smokey gouda cheese.

Smoked Gouda Almond Flour Scones with Tarragon and Thyme (Paleo)

• 3 cups of blanched almond flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 2 tablespoons of fresh tarragon, chopped
• 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper
• 1/4 cup – 1/2 cup of smoked gouda, chopped into small cubes (add more cheese as you see fit)
• 1 teaspoon of black truffle oil, or truffled cheese
• 4 tablespoons of butter
• 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 2 eggs, whisked

1. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, chopped herbs and cracked pepper
2. Grate the butter into the almond flour mixture, until the butter is evenly distributed in the mixture
3. Stir in the cheese
4. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, honey and vinegar
5. Stir the wet mixture into the almond flour until just combined
6. Divide and shape into scones
7. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. You should have about 6 to 8 good sized scones
8. Bake at 335F for 25 minutes, or until golden brown
9. Store left overs in the refrigerator, and bake for a few minutes to reheat and re-crisp when desired.

Enjoy!!!
