Keto Blueberry Scones
If you’re craving a sweet treat for breakfast or brunch, this Keto Blueberry Scones Recipe is a must. These Keto Scones have a perfectly balanced flavor with blueberries in every single bite. Easy to bake and pack up for a trip or enjoy easily right at home.
What I really enjoy about this simple keto recipe is a couple of different things. I’m a big fan of the texture of the scones, and I love that they have a sweet drizzle of homemade glaze. These homemade scones are also gluten-free, grain free, sugar free, and low carb!
Prep time is minimal, and cutting them in wedges creates that scone look that has everyone wagging their tongues to enjoy. I’ll enjoy this keto scones recipe with my afternoon tea or cup of coffee while the kids have a huge glass of milk.
The great thing about scones is that they’re really good anytime you’re craving classic scones. Simple for breakfast, delicious for brunch or lunch, and tastes like a treat or a blueberry dessert after dinner. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

Ingredients
- Almond flour – Using almond flour adds a hearty and nutty flavor to the scones.
- Coconut flour – Coconut flour combined with almond flour mimics the texture of traditional scones.
- Sugar Free Sweetener – You can use my Joy Filled Eats Natural Sweetener.
- Salt – Adding a bit of salt enhances the other flavors when baking.
- Baking powder – This will help the scones have a little bit of fluffiness to them during the baking process.
- Heavy cream – Great for texture and depth.
- Egg – The main binding agent for all the ingredients.
- Cold butter – Be sure that the butter is cold! This is key for that scone “texture”!
- Vanilla – Use real vanilla extract for the best flavor.
- Blueberries – I prefer using fresh blueberries for these scones.
- Powdered erythritol – This will be used to make the homemade glaze.
- Lemon extract or lemon zest – Great for adding citrus flavor.
- Water – This will help thin out the glaze.

How To Make Keto Blueberry Scones
Preheat the oven to 350. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step One: Add the dry ingredients to the food processor. Pulse until combined. Add the wet ingredients. Pulse until crumbs form. Process until the dough forms into a ball. This can take a minute or two.
Step Two: Add the blueberries and fold them in gently. You can do this in a large bowl.
Step Three: Press the dough ball into two circles on the parchment lined baking sheet. Cut each into 8 wedges. Spread them out so there is at least half an inch between the scones.
Step Four: Bake for 20 minutes until golden and firm. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Step Five: Stir together the icing ingredients. Add more powdered sugar or milk as needed.
Step Six: Drizzle over the cooled scones.
Top Tip💡
Use a spoon or a fork to make the best light drizzle. Test it out over the bowl before you try it on the scones. You want it thick enough that you can drizzle it but not so thin it won’t stick to the scones.
Variations
- Use other types of fruit – Strawberries and raspberries are also great options when it comes to fruit to add.
- Change up the shape – If you want to make these into a different shape, you can form them into a disc shape as well. Just keep them to about 1-inch thick for baking purposes.
- Nut-free – Sunflower seed flour can be used in place of the almond flour.
- Leave off the topping – You don’t even have to add the extra drizzle if you don’t want it!
- Dairy-free – Sub in melted coconut oil and an alternative milk (such as almond milk, coconut cream, or coconut milk) for the butter and heavy cream. Just chill the coconut oil until it is cold and solid.
- Chocolate chips – Swap out the berries for some keto diet friendly semisweet chocolate chips! Use all vanilla in the glaze instead of lemon. This variation is my personal favorite.
Storage
Let the keto scone recipe cool and then store them in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for 2-3 days without issue. You can keep them at room temperature or in the fridge.
To freeze the low carb scones, add them to a freezer bag and place them in the freezer. Move them to the fridge or counter to thaw for a few hours when you’re ready to enjoy them.

Would coconut sugar/maple syrup work?
Hi Jo, I replied to you about coconut sugar on a couple other recipes. In most recipes I think it will work but I do not test it. I would not swap it in if a recipe calls for a powdered sweetener. But if it calls for a granular sweeter coconut sugar should work.
Maple syrup is trickier because it is a liquid. You would need to reduce other liquids in the recipe. I would stick to trying to swap in the coconut sugar to simplify. Hope that helps!
These were really good.
Curious if I can sub coconut oil for butter and still get decent results for my DF kiddo. Thank you!
Yes, that should be fine.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes. Add them still frozen.
These were delicious. They were easy to make with the food processor and baked up nice and high!
I just made these for the first time, and I followed the recipe exactly. They are absolutely phenomenal. I didn’t need more than half the icing drizzle on the scones, but everything was made and used exactly as written. They are delicious! I made them for my weekend breakfast “treats“ and I am so excited for Saturday and Sunday morning! I’m going to take half of the yield and freeze them for next weekend too. Thanks for the recipe!
I made these delicious scones today. They are easy to make and taste amazing! Thank you Taryn for the great recipe!
These are so good, and it’s nice to still be able to have a treat now and then being keto.
Amazing taste but mine was a fluffier texture than a traditional scone. Did I do something wrong or is the texture of this recipe just softer? Delicious, just wondering.
They can be a bit softer than a traditional scone. It is hard to balance texture vs dryness. I prefer a moister scone that’s a bit softer to one that is firm and dry.
Hey there! I want to make these but wondered as written, the recipe is ok for THM? Should I use THM Baking Blend? Will this be considered a Crossover?
THANKS!
As written it is an S. You can try baking blend but it can be dry and I haven’t tested it. It would still be an S with baking blend.
Is there a substitute for the Almond flour? I have tree nut allergies, so almonds are a NO.
Do you think baking blend would work for this recipe and if not, what would you suggest?
You can sub sunflower seed flour 1:1 for almond flour. I think a baking blend could work. You may need a bit less as some blends can be drier than almond flour.
I’m not even keto but these are so yummy! I love anything with blueberries so this called my name!
These blueberry scones are great for my daughter who craves sweets but needs to be on a gluten free diet, thanks!
It was delicious!
Can i sub the covonut flour with something else? Almond flour? Other alternatives? Lyn
You can use all almond flour or sub in oat fiber.
