If there’s one recipe I make over and over again it’s this. And it is delicious. (Thanks to my mother for discovering it What a queen). She uncovered it when she had a pre-diabetes diagnosis and was looking for delicious recipe ideas that would be a solid replacement for bread at lunchtime.
And this is it. Perfect for a low carbohydrate or keto diet. I recommend it a great deal to clients who are looking for something tasty to go alongside soup that is low in carbs.I don't think I've met anyone who hasn't thought it perfect with soup. I’ve also eaten these with a cup of tea in the garden with the aforementioned mother. Nice afternoon treat that doesn’t muck up your blood sugar levels. I'm also a fan of the scone with Marmite. Or smoked salmon and cream cheese. I'd love to know your thoughts - leave me a message in the comments? So here we go…keto cheese scone recipe coming up. Hold onto your trousers.
Keto / low carb cheese scone
INGREDIENTS Makes 12 360g ground almonds 240g cheddar cheese, grated 1 tbsp baking powder ½ tsp cayenne (optional but adds a teeny, tiny kick) 4 eggs, beaten 50g butter melted A pinch or so of ground sea salt
METHOD Pre-heat the oven to 180C fan and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients ground almonds, cheese and baking powder. Add as much cayenne as you like (personally, I like a decent pinch), and a little ground salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and the melted butter together, making sure you don’t scramble the eggs. (If I’m being lazy, which is often, I just chuck these two ingredients into the dry mix). Then mix the egg mixture into the dry mixture. Use your hands to form the mixture into loose balls and place on the baking parchment. Place in the centre of the oven and bake for 15 – 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 140C but bake for a further 5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Amazing recipe. All the others I have tried used coconut flour as well and came out dry. Hoping you do a raspberry version for me to try. Thanks
Is it 180 fan oven?
Made 3 batches of these so far, they are so tasty and a life saver for a keto diet when you're craving something carby. Question..... Can these be frozen?
