I love lemon in any form. When I was little my grandma would make lemon loaf cake. Lemonade was always my jam. Now I like lemon water, but I thought I’d mix it up a little and make scones!
These amazing scones are egg-free but you’d never know it. They’re luscious and lemony with a creamy frosting. The egg-free magic is brought to you by plantain flour, one of my favorite flours for eggless baking! It works perfectly and the results are always great.
Make these amazing scones for high tea!

Wow. Incredible. I cannot even begin to describe how good these are! I will most definitely be making these again!
YUM! It even uses plantain flour! I love using plantain flour but there aren’t many recipes out there with it! I will be making these tonight!! Yum!
OH! Finally a recipe with plantain flour! I absolutely LOVE using plantain flour but I can’t find many recipes that use it! I will be making these tonight! Yum!
I’ve been missing a treat such as a scone. These were delicious even w/o the frosting. Do you have other AIP recipes with plantain flour? This is the first recipe I have seen using it. I give it 5 stars!
Aloha,
The recipe ingredients call for a banana, but the directions say plantain. Which should be used?
Thank you!
It’s whole banana and plantain flour.
Could you use a different flour like Cassava or tiger nut?
Thank you!
Probably not; I haven’t tried it with anything else.
