Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Almond flour (super-fine for best texture)
  • Coconut flour (a small amount helps structure)
  • Baking powder
  • Granulated keto sweetener (allulose, erythritol, or a blend)
  • Sea salt
  • Cold unsalted butter
  • Large eggs
  • Heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-light option)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Lemon zest (optional but recommended)
  • Fresh blueberries (or frozen; see tips below)
  • Optional glaze: powdered keto sweetener, lemon juice, and a splash of cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups almond flour, 2 tablespoons coconut flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/3–1/2 cup granulated keto sweetener, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt.
  3. Cut in the butter: Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  4. Stir the wet mixture: In a small bowl, whisk 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 lemon.
  5. Combine gently: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold until a soft dough forms. Don’t overmix; it should be slightly sticky but cohesive.
  6. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in 3/4 cup blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw; toss them in a spoonful of almond flour first to minimize bleeding.
  7. Shape the dough: Transfer the dough to the lined sheet. Pat into a round about 7 inches in diameter and 3/4–1 inch thick. For cleaner cuts, chill the round for 10 minutes in the fridge.
  8. Cut into wedges: Use a sharp knife to slice into 8 wedges. Slightly separate the pieces to allow air circulation for better crisping.
  9. Brush and bake: Lightly brush the tops with a little cream for color. Bake 18–23 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers feel set.
  10. Cool and glaze (optional): Let scones cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. For a glaze, whisk 1/2 cup powdered keto sweetener with 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice and a teaspoon of cream until smooth. Drizzle over warm scones.
