Ingredients
- For the Scones:
- 2 cups (220 g) almond flour
- ¼ cup (45.5 g) Swerve Sweetener
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (54.5 g) chopped pecans, toasted
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup (56.75 g) butter, melted
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp maple extract
- For the Glaze:
- 6 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp maple extract
- Water, if needed
Instructions
- For the Scones: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and lightly dust with almond flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, Swerve Sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the toasted pecans.
- Add the egg, melted butter, heavy cream, and maple extract. Stir until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a circle about 7–8 inches in diameter. Slice the dough into 8 even wedges and separate them carefully, spacing them evenly around the sheet.
- Bake for 18 to 25 minutes, or until the scones are firm and lightly browned. Let them cool on the pan.
- For the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered Swerve Sweetener, maple extract, and heavy cream until smooth.
- Add a little water if you want to thin the glaze. Drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled scones and let it set.
Notes
- For a more decadent treat, add extra toasted pecans on top of the glaze.
- Store leftover scones in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer, you can use regular powdered sugar instead of Swerve Sweetener, but this will no longer be keto-friendly.
