Keto Blueberry Scones

Would you believe that these blueberry scones are actually keto!? You can’t tell by tasting them, either. I mean, I was genuinely shocked and thrilled with how well they turned out. The only problem is that you might not be able to stop eating them! I especially love that they replicated a bit of that fluffy texture I miss with traditional scones.

Something I’ve noticed with keto baking is that the baked goods need to cool completely before you move it off the tray. Also, everything tastes better the next day. I think it’s because all the flavors have had a chance to really settle in and mingle. So, if you’re in the mood to make some incredible low carb baked breakfast treats, these are the scones for you!

I’ve partnered up with Klarbrunn to bring you this awesome keto baking recipe. There’s lemon zest in these scones, so they pair perfectly with Klarbrunn’s lemon flavor. Klarbunn’s sparkling water doesn’t have any added sugar, so it’s a great low carb soda replacement! You can find out where to buy Klarbrunn’s sparkling water here.

Do I Need Xantham Gum or Psyllium Husk?

While both xantham gum and psyllium husk are wonderful binding agents for gluten free and keto baking, neither one is needed for this recipe. It is important to let the scones cool completely before you move them though, because they will remain fragile until they’ve cooled.

How to Make Keto Scones Vegan

To make this recipe vegan, you’ll need to replace the eggs and the dairy. You can replace the egg in the scones with a flax egg, and you can replace the half and half with coconut milk. I would just omit the optional egg wash on the top.

Optional Flavors and Add-Ins

I think any of these flavors would be amazing in keto scones! Just be careful about adding in flavors with too much liquid, because that will throw off the consistency of the scones, which would change the baking instructions.

• Orange zest
• Vanilla
• Strawberry
• Pecan
• Plain
• Orange
• Cranberry Orange
• Almond Orange
• Lemonade
• Lime
• Jam and cream
• Ginger
• Hazelnut
• Fruit

How Long Do Scones Last?

These scones will last for about 3-4 days if you don’t freeze them.

How to Store Scones

These blueberry scones will store best in an airtight container.

Carbs in Blueberries

Blueberries contain 14 total grams of carbs, and 12 grams of net carbs for a 100 gram serving.

Does Vanilla Extract Have Carbs?

Yes, vanilla extract does contain carbs. Since you typically use such a small amount in baking, it doesn’t add up too much though. Be sure to look for a “pure” vanilla extract that doesn’t list sugar as an ingredient.

Is Cinnamon Keto?

Most definitely! Cinnamon is another ingredient that’s used sparingly, so the carbs rarely add up to a significant number in keto baking.

Can You Substitute Coconut Flour for Almond Flour?

This recipe calls for both coconut flour and almond flour. The two flours act very differently in baking, so you wouldn’t be able to substitute the coconut flour 1:1 for the almond flour.

Is Tapioca Flour Keto?

Tapioca flour isn’t keto-friendly because it’s made of starch, so it’s almost entirely made up of carbs. While it’s a great paleo option, it’s not a good low carb option.

What You’ll Need

The only tools you need for this recipe are basic kitchen staples. I recommend using an extra large mixing bowl, a balloon whisk, parchment paper, a good quality baking sheet, and a sharp good quality kitchen knife.
