Lower Carb Blueberry Scones Recipe. These Blueberry Scones are tasty and moist without the gluten and excess carbs. They are a delicious dessert to enjoy with some hot tea or coffee.
When I first went low-carb and dabbled in keto, the first thing I missed were the sweets. I mean, who doesn’t love a Vanilla Bean Scone or Pumpkin Spice Scone? I know I sure do and used to love making them with conventional ingredients.
But, when you are trying to avoid traditional white flour and sugar you have to get creative and that is exactly what I did with these Low-Carb Blueberry Scones— I created these by trial and error.
Normally, when I bake gluten-free, or low-carb sweet treats I use almond flour. But, on this day I was waiting for my Amazon order to arrive and only had a small amount on-hand.
Working with coconut flour/blend is a lot different than just almond flour because it is drier, slightly coarse, and it absorbs moisture like nobody’s business.
Just working with it via trial and error I realized I needed to add more moisture to my batter.
We all know scones are typically dry, but I didn’t want these to just crumble apart before even baking.
So, I decided to gradually increase the butter, eggs, and almond milk in the recipe and add in some cream cheese to moisten up my scones.
The end result? These scones were not as fluffy as my traditional Blueberry Scones, but they are delicious! They would be a great recipe to make with fresh blueberries.
These scones still have carbs, but they are much lower than traditional scones which have almost 50% more carbs–especially if iced!
