I am so incredibly thankful for all of my fellow food bloggers who are creating low carb recipes. While I love to create keto friendly recipes, I haven’t dabbled much into keto baked goods.

Maya Krampf, from the blog Wholesome Yum, came up with this recipe for keto Cranberry-Orange Scones. It’s just one of the many, many delicious keto recipes in her new book, The Wholesome Yum Easy Keto Cookbook (scroll on down to the bottom of this post for a chance to win your own copy, or you can find it on Amazon).

I knew right away this was the first recipe that I wanted to try from the book. I have been craving orange cranberry muffins, so this was the perfect low carb treat to satisfy that craving. And, as promised in the title of the book, they were super easy to make.

I’m looking forward to trying so many of the recipes in her cookbook. The Chili Lime Turkey Burgers are next on my list, but I also can’t wait to make the Maple Bacon Pancake Muffins and the Taco Stuffed Avocados!

Why This Recipe Works

  • This keto scones recipe is quick and easy to make. Now, you can enjoy homemade scones anytime you want!
  • The recipe is low carb, keto friendly, and naturally gluten free.
  • Each scone is bursting with fresh cranberry and orange! This recipe uses orange zest and tart cranberries to give the scones incredible flavor.

How to Make Keto Cranberry-Orange Scones

Prep!

Close up of an orange being zested

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Melt the coconut oil (you can do this in the microwave on 15 second increments, stirring in between) and zest an orange or two until you have about 2 tablespoons of zest.

Create!

Dry scone ingredients in a silver bowl

In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and sea salt.

Keto Scone dough in a silver bowl

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, orange zest, vanilla extract, and egg.

Stir the wet mixture into the almond flour mixture, pressing with a spoon or spatula, until a uniform dough forms. The dough should be pliable and dense, but not crumbly. Add a little more coconut oil, a teaspoon at a time, if it’s very dry.

Tip: use refined coconut oil if you don’t want your scones to have any coconut flavor.

Stir and press the cranberries into the dough.

Keto scone dough formed into a disk shape on a piece of parchment paper

Place the dough onto the lined pan and form a disc shape, about 1-inch thick and 6 inches in diameter.

Keto scone dough cut into 6 triangles on a piece of parchment paper

Cut into 8 wedges, like a pie or pizza. Move the pieces about 1-inch apart.

Bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden.

Cool completely on the pan to firm up. Scones will fall apart if you move them before they are fully cooled.

Tips and Techniques for the Best Cranberry-Orange Scones

  • If you opt to use frozen cranberries, do not defrost them before adding to the mixture. 
  • If you don’t want your scones to have any coconut flavor, be sure to use refined coconut oil.
  • Store leftover scones in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days. It is recommended to warm them in the microwave for 15-30 seconds before eating.

FAQ’s

  • Why didn’t my scones rise? Be sure you are using baking powder and not baking soda. Also, check to ensure that your baking powder is fresh, and not expired.
  • Can you freeze scones? Yes scones can be kept in a freezer bag or tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to a month.

    I added raspberry preserves. They came out perfect. So easy to make and I am not great at baking but this was the best.

    Cranberry and orange simply screams holiday. These are so good. I only wish fresh cranberries are available year-round so I can make this all the time. 🙂

    One of my favorite ways to kick off a new day. Delicious, easy and healthy – 3 in 1. Great tip on using baking powder VS baking soda – it is super important.

      Ahh this is actually pretty easy! I just made my fiance some yesterday with Moore’s Harissa Hot Sauce (0 calories/0 carbs) or you can use Buffalo Sauce (usually 0 calories/0 carbs) or sugar free barbecue sauce (although some varieties are better than others and I can’t remember which flavor of G Hughes Sugar Free BBQ Sauce I liked but it’s NOT the Maple Brown flavor. I bake at 400 for 30 minutes, then baste every 5 minutes for about 15-20 minutes. They come out sooooo good!

      Ahhh keto sweets are hard! There is such a find line between something that tastes good and doesn’t have a weird texture or after-taste. I’m experimenting more in this area more and will surely share any recipes that have superb results!

    I would love to see easy keto breakfast recipes that do not contain vegetables. I struggle to think of things for breakfast and am beginning to find just eggs, scrambled, steamed, poached—whatever form, to be tiresome. A lifelong vegetable hater, the thought of veggies in the morning especially leaves me cold. Help!

      I am not the biggest fan of eggs unless it’s like a casserole with other stuff mixed in or they are scrambled with strong flavors like goat cheese etc. I did eat Atkin’s Muffin in a Minute (the flaxseed one) with butter for a while there and have a flaxseed waffles recipe I need to makeover. Also LOVE cream cheese pancakes (2 eggs, 2 ounces cream cheese, dash of cinnamon, blend, let sit a few minutes, then cook in a pan coated in butter – they are delicate but SO good when topped with peanut butter and/or Lankato Maple Syrup with a side of bacon!). Just a few ideas to get ya going 🙂

      Good idea! Also, a lot of bloggers won’t note “keto” on recipes that are actually keto! If something looks good – check it out! Sometimes a simple swap, if anything, might be all you need. Annnnnnd for sure check out my Garlic Butter Instant Pot Short Ribs if you eat beef 🙂

    Honestly, I like to see all sorts of keto recipes. It makes it easier to stay on track if I have variety. I will be making these scones tomorrow, because scones are something I miss and this is the first recipe that I have seen that sounds really good. Thanks.

      I feel you! This is the #1 reason I keep trying to come up with recipes that not everyone has a version for! I need variety and big flavors to make me feel like I’m not missing out. I hope you find a few new ideas in Maya’s book and on my website 🙂 Lauren
