Pumpkin Scones
The flavor of the fall season is always and forever, PUMPKIN! All things pumpkin is what it's all about where I live and whether or not you truly love pumpkin or not, you've got to get in on at least one pumpkin recipe this season. These scones are just the right balance of pumpkin flavor. Not heavily pumpkin flavored, and with a warm hint of maple flavor, making these a decadent and satisfying breakfast for the family.
Keto Scones
Making scones keto-fied can be somewhat of a challenge. Without the use of a gluten type of flour, the dough can tend to be more delicate to work with. Xanthan gum is extremely important in gluten free recipes as it acts like gluten would and gives the texture more of a chewy bite. If you don't have xanthan gum or choose not to use it, you can swap it with guar gum or arrowroot powder.
It's also really important to allow them to cool for at least 10-15 minutes out fo the oven so they will be less likely to crumble. Using a combination of almond flour and a bit of coconut flour provides a nice dense texture typical of a traditional scone.
You can easily make these dairy free by swapping the heavy cream for coconut milk in this recipe. We hope you enjoy these delicious fall inspired scones!

One of my favorite recipes. Doesnt taste artificially sweet.
Is it possible to replace the coconut with something else?? I’m allergic to coconut.
Thank you!
