Maple pecan scones

I'm not a great fan of the quintessential afternoon tea accompaniment on this side of the pond, namely scones and clotted cream. So even after I went wheat-free, I didn't miss scones one bit. I do, however, miss having a nibble with tea. So I decided to attempt making wheat-free scones.

Banana pecan & walnut bread

A second go at a flourless banana bread with a few changes from the previous version: 1) use of butter rather than coconut oil; 2) use of fine sea salt rather than coarse sea salt and much less of it, too; and 3) 1 extra ripe banana.

Banana pecan bread

I've been contemplating eliminating wheat from my diet for some time. For the past two years, I've been using wholegrain spelt flour mostly to make cakes, breads, sauce, etc. But then I learned from Dr William Davis, author of the (in)famous 'Wheat Belly' that spelt is still a form of wheat, and while not as harmful as modern wheat, it isn't necessarily good either. This hastened my resolve to seek better alternatives, such as almond meal and coconut flour. However, the former is rather dear and the latter difficult to find.
