Tips:

It’s really astonishingly easy to make keto blueberry scones that mimic the conventional kind. Here are my best tips for getting it right:

• Whisk the dry ingredients first. You want them to be well combined and the baking powder evenly distributed before adding wet ingredients.
• Add the wet ingredients all at once. Break up the eggs before stirring, then mix until the dough comes together. Use a flexible silicone spatula to really work everything in.
• Carefully fold in the berries. You don’t want to stir too vigorously or the berries will burst. Just make sure to get them evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Shape and cut the dough. You can do it as a rectangle and cut it into 12 triangles, as outlined in the instructions. But you can also shape it into two circles and cut each of those into 6 wedges.
• Spread them around the pan. Keto scones need the heat of the oven on all sides in order to firm up properly.
• Bake until just firm. You want the scones to be golden brown and just firm to the touch. Don’t over-bake them or they will be too dry.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• ⅓ cup Swerve Sweetener
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup fresh blueberries

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 325F and line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silicone liner.

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. 

Stir in the eggs, whipping cream and vanilla, and mix until the dough begins to come together. Add the blueberries and carefully work into the dough. 

Gather the dough together and turn out onto the prepared baking sheet. Pat into a rough rectangle about 10 by 8 inches.

Use a sharp large knife to cut into 6 squares. Then cut each of those squares diagonally into two triangles. Gently lift the scones and distribute them around the pan.
