Ingredients

  • 225g almond flour
    2 c
  • 60g erythritol
    ⅓ c
  • baking powder
    ½ tsp
  • sea salt
    ¼ tsp
  • 50g coconut oil

    melted

    ¼ c
  • orange zest
    2 tbsp
  • vanilla extract
    ½ tsp
  • egg
    1
  • 55g cranberries

    fresh or frozen

    ½ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Combine the dry ingredients - almond flour, erythritol, baking powder and salt - in a bowl.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, orange zest, vanilla and egg. Stir into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Last, stir the cranberries into the dough.

  5. 5

    Form a ball and place onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Flatten into a disc shape, about 1 inch thick and 6 inches in diameter. Cut into 8 wedges and move the pieces about 1 inch apart.

  6. 6

    Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden. Let cool completely in the pan - these scones are fragile when hot but they firm up as they cool down.

Cranberry-Orange Scones

Cranberry-Orange Scones

Cranberries and orange are a classic sweet-tart pairing in these scones, which are quick-to-make but super satisfying. Folding the dough a few times, and using a combination of buttermilk and cream creates a flaky and tender texture that is irresistible. The glaze adds another punch of orange flavor, but it is totally optional, if you prefer a simpler scone. The scones freeze well after baking, but for the best texture, make sure to defrost them at room temperature and warm gently before serving. Feel free to swap in another citrus fruit for the orange, and just about any other dried fruit for the cranberries. Tart cherries and lime also make a great combination.
