Delicious Keto Strawberry Scones(Low Carb)

Today, I thought I would share my delicious recipe for keto strawberry scones. These low-carb scones have a great biscuit texture with just the right amount of sweetness.

What’s more, this recipe doesn’t require you to roll out the dough, allowing you to make them quickly.

Can you imagine being able to enjoy everything you love about traditional scones without worrying about the carbs? That’s what I wanted to accomplish when I set out to make these keto strawberry scones.

As I contemplated what keto recipe to create next, I thought about how much I missed having traditional scones. I wondered if I could create a keto strawberry scone recipe similar to the one I used to enjoy before I went keto.

But I not only wanted my low-carb strawberry scones to be delicious, but they also had to be easy to make because this girl is all about creating simple yet tasty keto recipes.

If you’re anything like me, after you wipe the drool off your face after viewing a gorgeous recipe picture, you’re asking yourself if it’s something you can easily duplicate. 

In the back of your mind, you’re thinking, it’s pretty and all, but can I make it?

And if the recipe requires too many steps or ingredients that are not easily found, chances are you are moving on to find something more straightforward.

Am I the only one who approaches new recipes like this? If you’re a fan of scones, check out my entire collection of keto scones where you are sure to find a recipe that can satisfy a craving without kicking you out of ketosis.

Keto Strawberry Scones

What’s particularly nice about trying to make a low-carb scone recipe is that scones are already not a very sweet treat.

If you’re not familiar with scones, they are part of the quick bread family, and they’re a cross between a biscuit and a lightly sweetened cake.

I knew that if the goal was to find a way to add scones back into this ketogenic girl’s life, it not only had to be a delicious low-carb alternative, but it also needed to be easy to make.

What I wanted was a recipe for keto strawberry scones that featured a nice crust yet was tender and moist on the inside.

But I wasn’t willing to achieve this if it required too many steps. Was that too much to ask?

So here’s the thing: when you are making traditional scones, you approach them the same way you would if you were making biscuits.

This means you would have to cut the cold butter into the flour mixture with either a pastry cutter or two knives until pea-sized pieces are formed.

To this mix, you would have to add the wet ingredients, form the dough, roll out the dough, and then shape the scones before f-i-n-a-l-l-y being able to bake and enjoy them.

That’s enough steps for an inexperienced baker to be intimidated and run away from a recipe. It would especially feel like too many hoops to jump through if you’re new to low-carb baking.

This is why I was determined to create a keto strawberry scone recipe that requires you to mix, spread, and bake.

Was skipping those extra steps too much to ask?

I decided to give it my best attempt and see if it would be possible to create a low-carb scone with as few steps as possible. Because if it’s going to be a winning recipe in my book, it should be simple enough to enjoy without a lot of fanfare.

How To Make Low-Carb Strawberry Scones

With the sheer number of hours I have spent honing my keto baking skills, I felt that a dessert that already didn’t require a lot of sweeteners would be pretty straightforward for this girl.

So, I focused more on making sure these keto strawberry scones had that biscuit-like quality that stands out in traditional scones.

But would that be possible, given the fact that I am working with low-carb, gluten-free flour?

I knew for certain that if I didn’t get the texture right, these keto scones would just end up being a dry, crumbly mess. And absolutely no one wants dry scones.

Best Sugar-Substitutes

Lakanto Monk Fruit gets its sweetness from antioxidants called mogrosides instead of fructose or sucrose. That’s why it’s a great all-natural sugar substitute and has zero calories and zero glycemic index.

I’m also partial to Swerve, an erythritol blend. Unlike other natural sweeteners like stevia, it has no bitter aftertaste and measures just like sugar.

Swerve is made from ingredients found in select fruits and starchy root vegetables and contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or flavors.

Swerve is the name brand of Erythritol. It’s unlike other sugar alcohols because it has a 0% impact on blood sugar.

You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure for most of my baked goods.

But if using Pyure, you will want to use 1/2 the amount called for in this recipe since it’s much sweeter.

Lastly, if you can easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.

Confidently Converting Traditional Recipes To Be Keto-Friendly

I must confess that despite the many hours I’ve had practicing how to use these alternative flours, there’s still a part of me that gets a little insecure right before creating a new recipe.

This is because there is a definite art to keto baking, and you simply can’t substitute your ingredients cup for cup.

Thankfully, creating a low-carb strawberry scone that only required a few steps was achievable.

Berries On A Ketogenic Diet

On a low-carb ketogenic diet, we don’t eat a lot of fruit. This is because too much fructose is just as bad and sometimes causes an even higher insulin response in our bodies than regular sugar.

With that in mind, on a keto diet, the fruit we indulge in comes in the form of berries.  Why? Because they are much lower in sugar and deliver a lot of flavor and nutrition.

This recipe for keto strawberry scones keeps you compliant because it only uses a small number of strawberries. What’s more, when strawberries are baked, their flavor intensifies. So, a few strawberries go a long way in this recipe.

Once you consistently cut back on sweets, you’ll find that you only need a tiny amount of sweetness to satisfy a craving.

This is why a recipe like my low-carb strawberry scones makes for a perfect keto snack. It allows you to enjoy a nice treat without having to worry about having too many carbs.

Eating a low-carb keto diet will certainly help in quieting your need for sweets.
