Almond Flour Scones FAQs
Are almond flour scones low carb?
Not all almond flour scones are low carb, as they may still be sweetened with sugar or made with other flours.
In this recipe for scones made with almond flour and coconut flour and sweetened with monk fruit, the macros are low carb and keto.
How many carbs in keto scones?
The amount of carbs in keto scones will vary recipe to recipe depending on ingredients used and any additions or toppings.
This maple pecan keto scone has just 5.3 grams net carbs, including the glaze.
Can I use a different sweetener?
This recipe uses Wholesome Yum Keto Maple Syrup to sweeten, give that hallmark maple flavor, and provide moisture. You can also try using this homemade syrup recipe, but we haven’t tested it to confirm if it works as well.
You can’t replace the syrup with a granulated or powdered sweetener without changing the consistency, and don’t use regular maple syrup, which is very high in sugar.
If you want a different flavor, you can use a different liquid sweetener with a similar consistency – sugar-free simple syrup for plain, or even sugar-free vanilla syrup for vanilla.
The glaze is sweetened with a powdered monk fruit allulose blend, as well as more syrup. For the powdered sweetener, you could also use powdered allulose or powdered erythritol. See the keto sweetener comparison here.
Can I use a different flour?
These scones are made with a blend of almond flour and coconut flour, and replacing either one would unfortunately require other ingredient changes that haven’t been tested.
Make them as written for perfect keto breakfast scones!

Another HIT at our house!! Definitely a keeper! Super easy to make! I had a lot of glaze, and dipped the tops of each scone into the glaze twice. Sprinkled with some toasted, finely chopped pecans.
Pam Lauer
I am out of the keto maple syrup, but I do have maple extract. How would I adapt this recipe to use that instead?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Pam, You should be able to add maple extract to this keto scones recipe.
Connie Olson
My stomach does not like Monk Fruit sweetener, so I use erythritol, stevia, or allulose in place of monk fruit and the recipes taste all right. Does anyone else have a problem with the Monk Fruit sweetener? Will substituting sweeteners change any recipes?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Connie, Have you tried the Besti brand of monk fruit specifically? Most brands of monk fruit are actually over 99% erythritol, so any stomach issues are usually related to that and not the monk fruit itself. Besti is the only monk fruit sweetener based on allulose, not erythritol. Substituting sweeteners does make a difference in recipes, and the outcome really depends on the recipe and what you substitute. We hope you’ll give Besti a try and see if that makes a difference for you!
Cynthia
Can I cook them in my cast iron scone pan? or would they stick too much?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Cynthia, Possibly, we haven’t tried that. Let us know how it goes!

What happened to the Save button? I just used it on another recipe a few minutes ago.
Ah…I see, I’m not at the Wholesome Yum blog site, although the same popup took me to both locations. Are you moving all your recipes over here? This is a bit confusing.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Diane, This recipe is on the Wholesome Yum Foods website, not the Wholesome Yum website. Saved recipes are currently available only on the Wholesome Yum website. We’re not moving our recipes here, and the vast majority are still on the Wholesome Yum website. There are just some recipes that get posted here on Wholesome Yum Foods.
