Keto Raspberry Scones

Are you looking for an easy way to enjoy scones while following a keto diet? Well, you’ve come to the right place with these keto raspberry scones.

Enjoy the tradition of afternoon tea and scones, but without the worry of consuming too many carbs.

At only 3.5 net carbs per serving, you can indulge in an easy scone recipe that won’t derail your low-carb diet goals.

My recipe for keto-friendly raspberry scones makes the perfect low-carb treat. These low-carb scones have all the flavor we love in traditional scones minus all the carbs and gluten.

These keto scones have a great biscuit-like texture with just the right amount of sweetness. Because this recipe does not require rolling out the dough, it’s super easy to make.

I also made a keto lemon icing for the top of these scones because the flavor of lemon really pairs well with the raspberries.

You can, of course, leave the icing out if you prefer. But between us, you should at least once try these scones with lemon icing.

Typically, scones have a biscuit-like dough that is lightly sweetened, but the majority of scone recipes call for rolling and then cutting the dough prior to baking.

But I am all about making keto baking easier. This simply means that if I can reduce some time from creating a recipe, you better believe I will.  

Am I the only one who appreciates easy, delicious keto recipes? I didn’t think so.

Plus, if there is something I’ve noticed, it is that many who come to the keto diet don’t have years of baking skills under their belt. This means that keeping things simple makes sense.

Keto Raspberry Scones

An added bonus about these keto scones is that they are bursting with antioxidant-packed raspberries.

On a keto diet, we are limited to the kinds of fruits we can consume, but for the most part, most can enjoy a handful of berries as a treat.

The great thing about this raspberry scone recipe is that each serving provides an equivalent of about five raspberries.

And since raspberries are packed with a lot of flavors, just a few raspberries go a long way in making this a delicious option.

This also means it’s a much healthier option than a traditional sugar-laden raspberry scone could ever be.

All that sugar in a typical scone just blocks the nutrition that raspberries can provide. Having them in a baked good like these scones also ensures you’re not going over your macros.

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.

What I wanted was a recipe for keto raspberry scones that featured a nice crust yet were 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? In case you don’t know, when you are making traditional scones, you approach it the same way you would if you were making biscuits.

How To Make Keto Raspberry Scones

This means you would have to cut the cold butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the dough forms pea-sized pieces. Then, to this mixture, you would have to add your wet ingredients.

After you form the dough, you then have to let it rest and then roll out the dough so you can cut them into scones.

Can I tell you I got tired just writing about the typical scone-making process? If that’s me, can you imagine how intimidating that many steps would be for an inexperienced baker?  

It would especially feel like too many steps if you’re new to keto baking where alternative flours are even trickier to work with.

That’s why this keto raspberry lemon scone recipe has the right consistency and only requires you to mix, spread, and bake.

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

Thankfully, my keto scone recipes worked beautifully. Giving me the ability to share it with you with confidence.

The Sugar-Substitute 

When it comes to choosing which sugar substitute to use for these keto scones, I have several for you to choose from.  

My go-to choice is Lakanto Monk Fruit because the texture is spot on since there is barely any aftertaste.

It is a monk fruit and erythritol blend. 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.

It’s 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, and 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. 1/4 cup is enough if using this sweetener.

As far as which powdered sweetener to use for the lemon icing, both Lakanto and Swerve have a great option.

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success. You will want to use Splenda, which has a bulking agent. It’s the one that comes in larger bags.

I don’t recommend Splenda Bake because it’s actually half-sugar, half-sucralose product and will be too high in carbs to be considered keto-friendly. Although Splenda is not an all-natural sugar substitute, in my opinion, it’s still better than real sugar.

I recommend it because not everyone has easy access to the more natural substitutes, plus it is at a price point that most can afford.

However, when it comes to keto lemon icing for these raspberry scones, you will have to use a powdered sweetener a sugar-free substitute. Both Lakanto and Swerve have great ones.
