Do you follow the keto blog Wholesome Yum? It was created by my friend Maya, and she specializes in simple low carb recipes, all with 10 ingredients or less. So I was delighted to receive a copy of her new book: Easy Keto Cookbook.
It features 100 recipes, with a handy introduction to all things keto and beautiful photography. Recipes include Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Omelet, Spaghetti Squash Ramen Soup, Tuscan Garlic Chicken Casserole, Crispy Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings, and Cinnamon Roll Dessert Pizza!
The recipe that I really wanted to try – mainly because it is perfect for this time of year – is her Cranberry-Orange Scones. Although her original recipe is dairy free, I switched the coconut oil for butter, but obviously feel free to switch it back if you prefer!

Low Carb Scones with Cranberry and Orange

Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- ⅓ cup Lakanto or alternative low carb granular sweetener
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 oz fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients - almond flour, low carb sweetener, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy free), orange zest, vanilla and egg.
- Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients until a dough forms. It should be dense and pliable, but not crumbly. If it's too dry, add more melted butter or coconut oil.
- Finally, press the cranberries into the dough. Place it onto a baking pan lined with a silicone mat. Flatten into a disc shape - about 1" thick and 6" in diameter. Cut into 8 wedges and move the pieces about 1" apart.
- Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
- Let them cool completely on the pan - they will firm up as they cool down.
