Based on feedback from readers, I have been trying to develop many more allergy-friendly, nut-free recipes!

Low-Carb Glazed Orange Scones Sweetened With Monk Fruit Sweetener

I use Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener to sweeten these scones. Monk fruit sweetener is my favorite keto-friendly sweetener and I use it almost exclusively in all of my low-carb dessert recipes and fat bomb recipes.

Monk fruit sweetener is net-carb-free, zero calorie, and tastes just like regular sugar. You can use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off your Lakanto order!

    The scones taste amazing! I used jasmine extract and vanilla extract for the scones instead.

    I’d like to give a side note though. The dough was too wet, so I had to form into the shape of scone individually. The icing was a bit too oily. I used concentrated oj in this for the citrus taste.

    I really enjoyed having this as breakfast. Thank you for the recipe.

      Glad you enjoyed! The addition of jasmine extract sounds amazing! Your dough may have been too soft if the temp of your kitchen was warmer.

        The carb count on these (20.9 ea) seems very high for something billed as low carb, I’m not seeing where all the carbs would come from in the recipe, is this a typo?

        Reply

        • Sara Nelson says

          That is the total carb content per serving (including monk fruit sweetener). My recipes are all calculated based on net carbs. You can see that info in the disclaimer below the nutrition label. Net carbs are calculated by taking total carbs minus fiber minus sugar alcohol.

    The mixture doesn’t come thick enough to cut it is still not like a dough (more liquidy) when all is mixed. Which then cause the scones to not cook (prob cause of coconut flour). Not sure what went wrong

      Sorry you had trouble, Sam! I’m unsure why the dough would be too liquidy, as the only liquid, per se, is the eggs, which should incorporate just fine into the dough. Did you add liquid to your mixture?

        I had this same problem. The mixture is too liquidy. I checked and rechecked the ingredients. I followed it exactly.

      Anytime I end up with a too liquid batter or dough in a recipe with coconut flour I let it sit for 3-5 minutes and check it again. The flour usually has absorbed enough liquid at that point and is the right consistency. Not sure if that will make the leavening useless though since baking soda and cream of tartar react immediately and then can go flat. I guess if that happens and they’re too dense you would want to try substituting double acting baking powder for both of them. I had pretty good luck with the recipe but the end product was a bit too moist for a traditional scone. I’ll bet the leftovers will be spot on though

    Scones are awesome whether savory or sweet. I love citrus, especially orange, so these recipes make the perfect sweet treat when paired with a cup of my favorite coffee, David Lynch’s Signature Organic House Blend. I like to think this is the kind of pairing Agent Cooper would find irresistible at the Double R Diner.

      Best compliment ever! I always develop my baked good recipes with Agent Cooper in mind; I wouldn’t want to disappoint him!
