Ingredients

2 cups blanched almond flour
1/3 cup granular erythritol
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup coconut oil * melted
2 tablespoons orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup cranberries * fresh or frozen

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and sea salt.
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.
Stir and press the cranberries into the dough.
Place the dough onto the lined pan and form a disc shape, about 1-inch thick and 6 inches in diameter.
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.

Notes

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.
