How To Make Delicious Keto Scones - Easy Recipe (2024)

What makes this keto scones recipe so good is its versatility. You can change ingredients, add ingredients, make it sweet or savory, and it’s very easy to bake.

Be sure to dice your ham relatively small for these keto scones – more pieces mean more tiny morsels of ham flavor in each serving.

This recipe makes 12 scones. One serving is one scone, and each has 2g net carbs.

Ingredients & Substitutes

Portion sizes are in the recipe card below.

• Almond flour. This is the base of this recipe.
• Coconut flour. It holds water and makes these scones moister.
• Baking powder. It makes the scones lighter and not so dense.
• Salt.
• White pepper. It draws out the flavor of the ham and is ideally suited to savory scones.
• Cheddar cheese. Adds bite and texture. Who doesn’t love cheese?
• Ham. You can use any variety of ham. Just make sure it’s sliced thick for dicing. Alternatively, diced bacon also works well.
• Chives. We like fresh chives when we can, but dried chives are also acceptable.
• Eggs. Large, organic free-range eggs as the flavor is better, and the chickens live a better life too.
• Salted butter. Organic grass-fed butter is best, but any salted butter will work.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1. Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 160C/320F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2. Mix dry ingredients

Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix. Then add the cheddar, ham, and chives. Mix well.

Step 3. Add wet ingredients

Add the eggs and butter and mix into a sticky dough.

Step 4. Shape the dough and cut

Place a sheet of parchment onto your bench and press the dough into a 9-inch wide disc. Next, cut like a pizza into 12 triangles.

Step 5. Bake

Gently move each triangle onto your cookie sheet, leaving a little room between each. You may need to use a thin icing spatula to help and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned and firm to the touch. Serve hot or cold.
