Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper or Silicone Mat
- Spacious bowl
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
Scones
- 3 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup sugar-free granulated sweetener
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons cold butter cut into small cubes
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice divided
- 0.33 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (no need to thaw)
Glaze
- 0.5 cup sugar-free powdered sweetener
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- Combine Dry Goodies: In a spacious bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated sweetener, lemon zest, baking soda, and salt until they're perfectly mixed.
- Add Cold Butter: Gently add the cold butter cubes to the dry mixture. Using your clean hands, a fork, or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until it resembles small, pea-sized crumbles.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate, smaller bowl, lightly beat the eggs with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice.
- Form the Dough: Pour the wet egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined and a soft, slightly crumbly dough forms. Be careful not to overmix!
- Shape & Slice: Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface. Shape it into a round disc, about 1 inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut the disc into 8 equal triangles and arrange them on your prepared baking sheet.
- Blueberry Boost: Lightly press the blueberries evenly into the tops of each scone.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool Down: Transfer the baked scones to a wire rack and let them cool completely. This is crucial before glazing!
- Whip Up the Glaze: In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and the powdered sweetener until smooth. If it's too thick, add a tiny bit of water (1 teaspoon at a time) until it's just right for drizzling.
- Drizzle & Enjoy: Drizzle the delightful lemon glaze evenly over each cooled scone. Now, they're ready to be enjoyed!
