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
- ⅔ cup erythritol (I like Swerve sweetener)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- ½ 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.)
