Almond flour scones are keto-friendly, paleo and totally delicious! These keto scones are gluten free scones made with fresh blueberries and strawberries.
Scones have always been a favorite of mine! Before I started to eat with better ingredients, the Starbucks blueberry scones were calling my name!
Since I love to make recipes at home using better ingredients, I figured why not try to make almond flour scones! Almond flour can be tricky to bake with, but this keto scone recipe is pretty easy to get right!
It doesn’t matter if you’re on a keto diet or not, keto scones are delicious and this recipe makes for perfect sugar free scones.
For me, eating better includes reducing my refined sugar intake. It’s no secret I have a sweet tooth but this recipe swaps the traditional white sugar for monk fruit sweetener (or coconut sugar if you are making paleo scones).
These low carb scones are elevated to the next level by adding protein! I added in a scoop of my favorite collagen protein powder for that extra oomph of protein.
Grab a scone with your morning coffee or tea or enjoy them for an afternoon snack or treat that is loaded with protein!

Next Steps in Creating Healthy Scones with No Refined Sugar
Next you will want to mix together all of the wet ingredients in one bowl and the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Save the coconut milk to the end to moisten up the mixture if it appears too dry.
From there slow mix in the dry ingredients adding coconut milk as necessary until your mixture is sticky.
Fold in the berries.
Roll almond flour scones mixture into a ball and place onto a piece of parchment paper or Silpat.
From there you will bake the almond flour scones for 20 minutes at 350F. At 20 minutes, pull the sheet pan out of the oven and cut the scones with a pizza cutter.
Gently separate the scones a bit to get sides to finish baking.
Bake additional 10-12 minutes or until scones are cooked through.
These low carb scones are delicious by themselves. But – adding a keto glaze makes them even better!
To make a glaze for these paleo scones, mix together 1/4 cup coconut butter and 1 tbsp of monk fruit sweetener. Drizzle on top of the scones.
Frequently Asked Questions about How to Make Almond Flour Scones Keto Friendly
Can I make these keto blueberry scones instead of adding in strawberries?
Yes, you can make almond flour blueberry scones by substituting the amount of strawberries you would have added with additional blueberries. Paleo blueberry scones are delicious and would be easy to make with just substituting additional blueberries.
How would I make keto lemon blueberry scones?
To make lemon blueberry scones with almond flour you would omit the strawberries. You would also add in fresh lemon juice (start with 2 tbsp of lemon juice) and the zest of one lemon.
Adding lemon zest or orange zest to this almond flour scones recipe would give them a delicious flavor.
What kind of almond flour should I use for almond flour scones?
I highly recommend Kirkland brand blanched almond flour. Thrive Market also has an amazing almond flour that is fabulous for this recipe!
I also sift my almond flour before I use it to ensure there are no chunks.
You do not want to use almond meal, be sure to look for blanched almond flour.
Can I use just coconut flour for this keto scones recipe?
I would not recommend substituting coconut flour for keto scones. I believe the scones would be very dry.
However, if you do make these scones with coconut flour, let me know how they turn out for you!
Can I make scones with almond flour only?
Yes! This gluten free scones recipe uses only almond flour.
Although other recipes call for a bit of coconut flour, I am happy with the texture of these almond flour keto scones.
These scones have a bit more moisture than a traditional scone, but that is the way I like them!

Keto Scones Recipe with Blueberries and Strawberries
Almond Flour Scones with Mixed Berries
Almond flour scones are keto-friendly, paleo and totally delicious! These keto scones are gluten free scones made with fresh blueberries and strawberries.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 scoop Ancient Nutrition Multi-Collagen Vanilla
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup monkfruit sweetener (keto) or coconut sugar (paleo)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8-1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup strawberries chopped
Keto Scone Glaze
- 1/8 cup coconut butter
- 1/2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350F and place a piece of parchment paper or Silpat on a baking sheet.
-
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. I recommend sifting the almond flour to remove any chunks.
-
In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients (minus coconut milk) with a whisk.
-
Combine dry ingredients into wet and mix until dough forms. If dough seems dry add in unsweetened coconut milk 1 tbsp at a time.
-
Fold in blueberries and strawberries.
-
Mod dough into a ball and place onto prepared baking sheet. Shape into a flat circle about 1 inch high. Sprinkle with monk fruit sweetener for additional sweetness.
-
Cook scones for 20 minutes then carefully cut into 8 pieces using a pizza cutter. Carefully create a small space between each scone.
Alternatively, you can cut scones prior to baking. I like to cut them once baked for a cleaner cut and moister inside.
-
Bake for additional 7-12 minutes or until scones are cooked through.
-
Once scones have cooled, mix together keto glaze mix and drizzle over scones.
