Keto Carrot Cake Scones

almond flour

coconut

walnuts

Swerve Sweetener (or other granular sweetener)

tsp baking powder

cinnamon

tsp salt

cloves

carrots (loosely packed)

eggs

butter

tsp vanilla extract

cream cheese (softened)

tbsp Swerve Confectioners (or other powdered sweetener)

tbsp heavy whipping cream

Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, shredded coconut, walnuts or pecans, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and cloves. Stir in the shredded carrots. Add the eggs, butter and vanilla extract, and stir until the dough comes together.

Turn the dough out onto a prepared baking sheet, and form into 2 low, flat circles about 7 inches in diameter. Cut each circle into 6 even wedges. Gently lift the scones with a spatula, and spread around the baking sheet about 1 inch apart.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and just firm to the touch. Remove, and let cool.

Scones

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sweetener, cream and vanilla until smooth.

Cut a small tip from the corner of a ziploc bag. Spoon the frosting into the bag, seal, and then pipe decoratively over the cooled scones.

Almond Flour Carrot Cake Scones

eggs*

avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)

maple syrup

tsp pure vanilla extract

½ cinnamon

½ tsp ground ginger (optional)

½ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

tsp baking soda

sea salt

carrot

pecans

raisins

sugar

water

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. You can also spray the baking sheet with cooking spray if you don’t have parchment paper, but I find parchment paper is useful when cutting the scone dough.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined (wet ingredients).

In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and sea salt (the dry ingredients).

Transfer the flour mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix well until a thick dough forms.

Mix in the grated carrots, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and raisins until everything is well distributed throughout the dough.

Turn the dough out onto the parchment-lined baking pan. Shape the dough into a large disc shape. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 8 to 16 equal-sized triangles. I go with 8. Note: You can also form any size scones out of the dough with your hands, making any shape. I often make drop scones, using a spoon to plop the dough onto the baking sheet. In this sense, go with any size or shape you like.

Use a spatula to get underneath each triangle to space out the dough. The dough is very sticky - this is normal. I promise, it will all work out. Be sure to leave room between each triangle of scone dough, as it will spread during the baking process.

Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Remove scones from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

If adding the optional glaze (instructions below), simply drizzle the glaze over the tops of the scones once they have cooled off for a few minutes.

Make the Scones:

Simply stir one cup of powdered sugar and water in a small bowl until a thick and runny glaze forms. Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the baked scones for an added burst of sweetness.
