Ingredients

Sounds silly, but I love when summer is here simply for the large selection in berries. Blueberries are notorious for their low-sugar qualities and anti-inflammatory superpowers, so I love using them fresh as much as possible!

  • 1 1/3 cups almond flour (blanched)
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot flour (the package may say ‘arrowroot powder’
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (make sure to wash them first and let them dry)
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 3 TBSP keto maple syrup (if you don’t have this, you may try another sugar-free natural sweetener that’s granulated. Usually erythritol or allulose are good choices for baking; Swerve brand is great!)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (pure, not the fake stuff!)
  • 1 egg (large, organic)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C) and line a metal baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl. Then stir in the blueberries.
  3. Whisk the wet ingredients together in a small mixing bowl, then stir into the dry ingredients until a batter is formed.
  4. Pour the batter into the baking pan, shaping into a circle if you wish.
  5. Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
  6. Let cool for at least 10 minutes, cut into eight servings, and enjoy!

Tips + Notes

  • Any other nut flour (except tiger nut as it’s not really a nut) should be able to be subbed in this recipe.
  • Letting the scones completely cool down after baking is *really* important as it’s grain-free, and the cooling process helps the other binder ingredients in the recipe set.
  • You can also sub any other fresh berry! (We make this recipe with raspberries and cherries as well!)
