Almond Flour Scones FAQs

Are almond flour scones low carb?

Not all almond flour scones are low carb, as they may still be sweetened with sugar or made with other flours.

In this recipe for scones made with almond flour and coconut flour and sweetened with monk fruit, the macros are low carb and keto.

How many carbs in keto scones?

The amount of carbs in keto scones will vary recipe to recipe depending on ingredients used and any additions or toppings.

This maple pecan keto scone has just 5.3 grams net carbs, including the glaze.

Can I use a different sweetener?

This recipe uses Wholesome Yum Keto Maple Syrup to sweeten, give that hallmark maple flavor, and provide moisture. You can also try using this homemade syrup recipe, but we haven’t tested it to confirm if it works as well.

You can’t replace the syrup with a granulated or powdered sweetener without changing the consistency, and don’t use regular maple syrup, which is very high in sugar.

If you want a different flavor, you can use a different liquid sweetener with a similar consistency – sugar-free simple syrup for plain, or even sugar-free vanilla syrup for vanilla.

The glaze is sweetened with a powdered monk fruit allulose blend, as well as more syrup. For the powdered sweetener, you could also use powdered allulose or powdered erythritol. See the keto sweetener comparison here.

Can I use a different flour?

These scones are made with a blend of almond flour and coconut flour, and replacing either one would unfortunately require other ingredient changes that haven’t been tested.
