Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Scones

Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Scones because strawberries and rhubarb are true besties that were meant to live side by side.

Recently I got my hands on some fresh rhubarb, apparently, that’s not such an easy task here in South Florida.

Thrilled that I did, I immediately decided it was time I created another rhubarb recipe. And I thought, what better than a recipe for keto-friendly strawberry rhubarb scones? 

Not only did these turn out amazing, but they gave me another recipe for my growing collection of keto scone recipes.

After my Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble recipe was well received, I kept watching for an opportunity to create another keto recipe that featured rhubarb’s tang.

And if you are a fan of pies, then my recipe for Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Pie is another one you should check out. 

The only problem was that finding fresh rhubarb in Florida grocery stores was the equivalent of finding a magical unicorn. I’m not kidding you here. 

So when I began getting requests for more keto rhubarb recipes because you had a bumper crop of rhubarb, it was hard for me not to be jealous. 

Honestly, I can’t tell you how many times I would see the red stalks of Swiss chard and get all excited thinking I had spotted some fresh rhubarb, only to realize I was dead wrong.

I can only hope that those of you who do have fresh rhubarb easily available are not mistaken for swiss chard because, in the case of rhubarb, the leaves can be toxic.

But something tells me that kinda mistake is reserved for folks like me who do not get their hands on fresh rhubarb often enough.

Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Scones

Once I realized that rhubarb is in season only from April to June, I quickly ran to the only place I thought I could get some: Whole Foods. Thankfully, I was not disappointed.

I was on a mission to make rhubarb scones and would not be denied.

But here’s a funny story: Rhubarb is so rare in these parts that even some employees didn’t know for certain if what I had in my hands was truly rhubarb or red celery.

It didn’t help that the label was missing on the rhubarb stand. But red celery? Is that even a thing? My son later confirmed it was. Yup, this girl is still in need of learning a lot.

After someone finally confirmed it was indeed rhubarb, I grabbed just about all the rhubarb on the stand. I left behind only three stalks cause I felt kinda guilty taking them all.

So, I left behind just enough for someone else to make a rhubarb treat.  I never said I was perfect, guys; just forgiven. Ha!

Moving on, it’s no wonder that many recipes pair strawberries with rhubarb because they come into season at the same time.

Plus, they provide each other with the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. They are a dynamic duo for these strawberry rhubarb scones. It’s a match made in baking heaven, as far as I’m concerned.

My scone recipe is a fabulous addition to a springtime brunch, an afternoon snack, or even dessert.

This recipe can be made in a 9-inch round cake pan, but I love using a cast-iron skillet because it gives the cookies a crisp scone edge without the fuss of rolling out the dough and then cutting them like biscuits. 

Low-Carb Strawberry Rhubarb Scones

I decided on a rhubarb scone recipe because I knew the rich flavor of my basic low-carb scone recipe would be a perfect fit for these two flavors.

I also added a drizzle of vanilla icing to enhance them further. All I can say is yum, yum, yum.

The good thing is that you can also make these scones using frozen rhubarb if you’re craving for some rhubarb, but the small seasonal window has come to a close.

Or if you happen to grow your rhubarb and are fortunate enough to be able to stock your freezer for future recipes. I hope you recognize just how blessed you are?!?

If that’s the case, don’t worry about defrosting them. Instead, freeze them in small, thin slices. 

As I said, I’ve used my keto base scone recipe before, seen here in my keto strawberry scones, keto chocolate chip scones, and keto blueberry scones. 

In the case of these low-carb strawberry rhubarb scones, I added some thinly sliced rhubarb and fresh strawberries, then folded the batter and baked it in my cast-iron skillet.

Scones can sometimes be on the dry and crumbly side. But that’s not the case with any of my low-carb scones. 

All my scones are moist and have the perfect tender crumb texture. And these strawberry rhubarb scones are no exception.

Keto Scone Recipe

To make these easy keto scones, you’ll just need the following basic ingredients:

Best Keto Sweetener Options For Sugar-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Scones

My top choice is a monk fruit/erythritol blend. My personal favorite is Lakanto’s brand.

But you can also use Swerve, an erythritol sugar substitute. 

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

However, if using Pyure, you will want to use half the amount called for in this recipe since it’s a much sweeter choice. 

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda or a generic brand of the same. It will work with great success.

I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar. 

However, when it comes to the keto vanilla glaze, you will have to use a confectioner’s sugar substitute. Both Lakanto and Swerve have great ones.

How To Make Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Scones

This keto scones recipe is just a mix-and-spread-in-the-pan kind of recipe, which is a win in my book. Because if your schedule is anything like mine, saving time in the kitchen always makes sense.

I will add that if you rather your healthy rhubarb scones not be on the sweet side, then skip the vanilla glaze. Although, you should at least try them with the glaze once; just saying. 

To make this simple recipe preheat your oven to 375 degrees and melt the butter and set it aside to cool.

Then using an electric mixer in a large bowl, combine the sugar substitute, cooled melted butter, and eggs.

Once thoroughly combined, add the sour cream and mix well. Next, add the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt, and mix until fully combined.

Finally, fold in the sliced strawberries and rhubarb. If you’re using frozen rhubarb, there’s no need to defrost it, but make sure it’s been thinly sliced before freezing.

Spread the batter (which will be thick) into a fully greased 9-inch cast-iron skillet or round cake pan.

Bake for 25-35 minutes until the edges are golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

To make the keto vanilla icing, combine the confectioners’ sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream in a small bowl.

Begin by adding three tablespoons of heavy cream, and then add an additional tablespoon of cream if the mixture is too thick and needs to be thinned out. This will ensure the icing has the perfect consistency for drizzling over your delicious low-carb scones.

Once the scones are done, let them cool fully before drizzling them with keto vanilla icing.

Store your gluten-free scones in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to five days or freeze for up to three weeks.
