Almond Milk – You can use almond milk or heavy whipping cream to create a delicious low carb scone. You can also brush a little heavy whipping cream on the top of the scones for a crispy top. Coconut Oil – You can use coconut oil or unsalted butter as the fat in this recipe. Cold butter/cold coconut oil are the key to creating the perfect scones.
Flaky and light, these scones are perfect for snacking or for breakfast. Made from ingredients you probably have on hand, they can be a special treat any time and are one of my favorite breakfast recipes to have with tea or coffee. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Good nut free alternatives for this recipe are sesame flour and sunflower seed flour. I often use them 50%/50% when replacing almond flour in recipes. You can replace them 1:1. I haven't gotten around to making coconut flour scones yet but it's on my list. If you want to experiment, try using a scant cup / 90 g coconut flour.
They are keto friendly and delicious! Keto Strawberry Scones: You can used dried strawberries to make low carb strawberry scones. Parmesan Garlic Scones: You can add parmesan cheese and grated garlic or garlic powder to make a savory scone. Skip the vanilla extract and the fruits for this one.
