Almond Flour Keto Scones (Blueberry) - Wholesome Yum (2024)

I’ve been making these keto blueberry scones for years. Prior to my clean eating days, curling upwith a hot latte, a crumbly scone, anda good bookmy laptop (who am I kidding?) was the perfect way to spend a morning off. So truth be told, I was missing them a bit when I went low carb years ago… which is why these keto scones were one of the first things I made. They are bursting with fresh berries (and topped with a berry glaze!) and so much easier to make than you might think. Not only are these almond flour scones keto, but they are just 4 grams net carbs and made with wholesome ingredients like almond and coconut flour.

Enjoy these low carb scones with your favorite coffee or tea and a dollop of keto lemon curd for a slow weekend morning or enjoy them throughout the week. No matter if it’s Saturday or Monday, my paleo scones are sure to be a hit. (These days, I love them with bulletproof coffee.)

Being a scientist at heart, I love to experiment and figure out how things work, so it’s truly rewarding for me to see how changing different variables transformsthe end result. When I first started baking, one aspect of the process that was always fascinating to me was how the same combination of ingredients could result in completely different products, depending on what you do with them.For example, you canuse the same ingredientsto make muffins, scones, pancakes, cookies, biscotti, or even a cake! It’s just a matter of ratios, oven temperature, and how you shape the batter or dough. These easy blueberry scones are the epitome of that.

How To Make Keto Scones

Thisrecipe for keto scones takes just 30 minutes! Make theketo blueberry scones, turn on the coffee, and grab a book – it’s better than the coffee shop! Here’s how we make them:

• Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, Besti, sea salt, and baking powder.
• Mix wet ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla, and egg.
• Mix wet and dry ingredients. Fold the wet mixture into the dry until a dough forms – it should be pliable, but not crumbly or stiff.

TIP: If your dough is sticky, you can chill it in the fridge for about 20 minutes to make it easier to work with.

• Add blueberries. Fold in the blueberries. You can also experiment with other add-ins here, such as sugar-free dried cranberries or chocolate chips.
• Form theblueberry keto scones. Place the dough onto a lined pan and form a disk shape. Cut into 8 wedges and move them apart a bit so they aren’t touching.
• Make glaze forlow carb scones. Puree coconut oil, powdered Besti, and blueberries in a blender until smooth. Pour through a fine mesh sieve to catch blueberry skins.

TIP: Make sure to use powdered sweetener for the glaze, to avoid a gritty texture.

• Topketo blueberry scone recipe with glaze. When the scones are done baking, drizzle glaze and spread evenly. Cool completely.

TIP: Don’t move the scones while they are still warm – they will fall apart. Let them cool completely to firm up. You can always reheat if you prefer a warm scone.

Are Scones Keto Friendly?

Low carb keto scones for all!

Can Scones Be Made With Almond Flour?

Yes, scones can be made with almond flour and thisalmond flour scones recipe will show you just how easy, healthy, and delicious it is!

In fact, almond flour is my preferred flour for making the best keto scones. It’s perfect for getting the right texture and flavor. I did add a little coconut flour to improve the texture.

Can I Use Only Coconut Flour?

Not with this same recipe, no. Coconut and almond flour are not interchangeable, and using only coconut flour would require too many other changes. I can’t recommend it without testing.

It’s on my list to make you a recipe for coconut flour scones, but in the meantime, try coconut flour blueberry muffins.

Can I Use Only Almond Flour?

Probably, yes. You’d need to replace the 1/4 cup coconut flour in the recipe with an additional 3/4 cup almond flour instead (yes, it’s a lot more to convert), and may need to add an additional 1/4 cup, if the dough is too runny after that.

Let me know how it goes for you if you try this.

How To Store Keto Blueberry Scones

Can You Freeze Almond Flour Scones?
