These Keto Blueberry Lemon Scones bring together bright, zesty lemon and juicy blueberries for a deliciously satisfying breakfast treat or snack. With almond flour as the base, these scones are soft yet crumbly, and the tang of fresh lemon zest perfectly balances the sweetness of blueberries. Low in carbs and free from refined sugar, they’re a great option for a keto-friendly pastry. Each bite bursts with blueberry flavor and a hint of lemon, making these scones a refreshing change from your typical low-carb baked goods.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup granulated keto sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Optional Lemon Glaze:
- 1/4 cup powdered keto sweetener
- 1-2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, sweetener, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well-blended.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to squish them too much.
- Shape the Dough: Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and form it into a round disk about 1 inch thick. Use a knife to cut the disk into 6-8 wedges, gently separating them slightly to allow room for baking.
- Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional Lemon Glaze: For an extra burst of lemon flavor, mix the powdered keto sweetener with lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled scones.
These keto blueberry lemon scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for a few days. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!
