- 1/2 cup of chopped raw almonds
- 1 1/2 cups of almond flour

- 1/3 cup of dairy free milk

There are a few alternative ingredients that you could use to make variations of soft almond scones:
- Flour – Instead of almond flour, you could use regular wheat flour or other gluten-free flours such as oat flour or coconut flour. Keep in mind that the texture and taste may differ depending on the flour used.
- Sweetener – Honey can be substituted with other liquid sweeteners such as maple syrup, agave nectar, or even molasses. If you prefer a less sweet scone, you could also reduce the amount of sweetener or use a sugar substitute like stevia.
- Oil – Olive oil can be swapped for other types of oil such as coconut oil, avocado oil, or melted butter. Each option will bring its own unique flavor to the scone.
- Nuts – If you’re not a fan of almonds, you could try using other chopped nuts such as pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts. You could also try using dried fruits or chocolate chips instead of nuts for a different twist.
