Low Carb Dairy Free Fresh Blueberry Scones

A Moist & Delicious Fresh Blueberry Scone!

 Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup Lakanto Baking Sweetener**

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

2 tablespoons coconut oil***

1 egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup small fresh blueberries, rinsed and stems removed

1 - 2 teaspoons Lakanto Classic Sweetener

parchment paper

Method:

Preheat oven to 350*. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the flours, Baking Sweetener, baking powder and salt to a medium bowl. Stir with a large fork to mix. In a small bowl, or 2 cup liquid measuring cup, whisk together the milk, oil, egg and vanilla. Make a well indentation in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the liquid ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork just until all of the ingredients are combined and a dough forms. Gently fold in the blueberries. Turn the dough onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Pat into a 7 inch diameter circle. 

Cut into 8 equal portions. Separate the portions on the baking sheet so that they are not touching. Sprinkle pinches of Classic Sweetener on top of each scone and press down lightly to set. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges. Allow to cool completely before serving. Serve plain or with butter.Makes 8 small scones. Store leftover scones in an airtight bag, or container, in the refrigerator.

**Lakanto Baking Sweetener has a finer texture than the regular Classic Sweetener. If you do not have the Baking Sweetener in your pantry, you can process the Classic Sweetener in a food processor, to create a finer texture.

***If the coconut oil has solidified, heat just long enough to liquefy.

Note: These scones are delicious, with a great flavor and texture. ~ My non-keto husband was amazed that they were sugar free and that there was no chemical after taste.
