Let’s Make Some Easy Keto Cranberry Orange Scones!
So you mix the dough together with everything but the cranberries like the pic above. Next you flatten it out on a silicone mat covered cookie sheet or you can use parchment paper. Next push in your cranberries into the dough.
Now you want to gently cut the dough into 8 pie pieces and move them a part to cook.
Pop them in the oven and bake for about 18 – 22 minutes until golden brown.
Make sure to let them cool before eating. I really loved the texture of these scones and I can’t wait to make another batch or two and freeze them for our breakfasts. They were delicious with a good cup of tea for an afternoon snack too.
Well my family thoroughly enjoyed these low carb scones and I hope you do too. Please check out Maya’s cookbook as it’s really a good one. I have many cookbooks but this is sincerely one of my favorite keto cookbooks. Again you can find her keto cookbook here.

Easy Keto Cranberry Orange Scones
If you crave something a little sweet with your coffee or tea in the morning, you will love these easy keto cranberry orange scones. You only need a few ingredients and it takes little time to make. I froze a few for a quick keto breakfast on the go. Each scone has only 4g net carbs!
Ingredients
- 2 cups blanced almond flour
- 2/3 cup erythritol (I like Swerve sweetener)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup (2oz) cranberries, fresh or frozen
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, bakingpowder, and sea salt.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, orange zest, vanilla, and egg. Stir the wet mixture into the almond flour mixture, pressing with a spoon or spatula, until a uniform dough forms. (The dough should be pliable and dense, but not crumbly; add a little more coconut oil, a teaspoon at a time, if it’s very dry.) Stir and press the cranberries into the dough.
-
Place the dough onto the lined pan and form a disc shape, about 1 inch thick and 6 inches in diameter. Cut into 8 wedges, like a pie or pizza. Move the pieces about 1 inch apart. Bake for 18 to22 minutes, until golden.
-
Cool completely on the pan to firm up. (Scones will fall apart if you move them before cooling.)
