Let’s Bake!
I used fresh cranberries in this recipe; if they are available, I highly recommend using them! When they become available around the holidays I like to grab as many bags as possible and freeze them to add to my festive baking. I cut the cranberries in half so that they disburse throughout the dough more. You can use the dried cranberries, but it will change the flavor profile of this scone.
White chocolate morsels just made sense here. The buttery, rich, and creamy flavor of the white chocolate balances the sweet-tart flavor of the fresh cranberries. Lily’s brand makes every flavor of sugar free morsel you could hope to add to your low carb baking arsenal!
For the scone batter, I used a combination of almond flour, coconut flour, oat fiber, psyllium husk powder, and vital wheat gluten. If you have not experimented with adding oat fiber or vital wheat gluten to your low-carb baked goods, then this is your reminder to start. This combination of flour alternatives creates a gorgeous texture!
I used monk fruit sweetener for this recipe and pretty much all of my recipes because it is the best low carb sweetener option out there.
This is a perfect scone recipe for Christmas time, if you love scones as much as I do, you should check out my vanilla keto scones and my maple scones!
This delightful sweet treat is so good with a cup of coffee (or tea if you are into that kind of thing). No need to wait for a special occasion these come together quick and easy any day of the week!
