Keto Maple Caramel Scones Recipe (gluten free)

Keto Maple Caramel Scones Recipe (gluten free)

These are the buttery, maple scones you crave with a caramel flare to make it outstanding!

Keto Maple Caramel Scones are a bit softer than traditional scones in that they have a soft bite and do not crumble!

It is one of the breakfast recipes I pull out in fall to bring in the warm, cozy feelings!

Since I follow a low carb, ketogenic diet, I subbed the pure maple syrup with some maple extract in the low carb scones to keep the sugar count to zero!

It is not too much and is a great way to get the maple flavor without all of the carbs. You will be enjoying one of these with your morning coffee in no time!

This easy recipe follows a traditional scone recipe somewhat, but of course is gluten free, and the step of adding in the melted butter at the end makes this very tender crumbed! I do not add any xanthan gum or vegetable oil, just pure ingredients for this low carb recipe!

• You can make these dairy free when you use vegan butter or coconut oil and coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
• When you make the maple glaze, you can use my sugar-free maple syrup recipe to have results like mine!
• When you are folding in the additional almond flour at the end, lift up the parchment paper slightly on each edge and do not move from the baking sheet.
• The keto scones will stay together better if you cut it on the paper, after working in the almond flour, into 8 triangles, then gently space each one from each other.
• Powdered sweetener is a must for the glaze to turn out.
• Since powdered erythritol is one of the sugar alcohols, it sets up quickly so pour the glaze fast before it hardens in the bowl!
• You can also modify this keto scone recipe by changing up the additions! Try adding walnuts to make maple walnut scones, or bacon crumbles to make them maple bacon scones, or pecans to make them maple pecan scones. You are able to customize as you desire!

This recipe is loaded with great maple caramel flavor from the extracts as well. I combine the maple extract with caramel extract, and of course vanilla extract to round out the flavors.

Start out with a large mixing bowl and whisk up the wet ingredients. Then I just add in the dry ingredients and whisk away until the batter is formed. No need for a food processor or pastry blender with this!

At the end you will add in the melted butter. I know this is different than most recipes, but it lends a very tender crumb to the scone that cannot be beat!

The trick is to let it sit for 10 minutes so the bit of coconut flour we used in the dry mixture will soak up the butter!

I cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper and use it to work in the additional almond flour. First, sprinkle the parchment with 1/4 cup almond flour, then put the large ball dough onto top of it.

Sprinkle the top of the batter with almond flour as well. Slowly pull up one corner of the paper at a time to fold the batter onto itself, essentially covering the outside with enough almond flour to hold it together.

This makes a world of difference when you go to cut and separate them from one another before baking in your preheated oven.

Once the scones are ready to go and they are baking, you can start the maple topping. I prefer to use my own homemade Keto Maple Syrup, but any sugar free syrup will work here.

Although you want it warm enough to pour, it thins out easily over medium-low heat to use when you need it. Take note as this maple glaze recipe is also great to use in my other keto recipes like my Keto Maple Donuts!

Bake the Keto Maple Caramel Scones until they are a nice golden brown as you do not want them to dry out to much!

It is best to have them come to room temperature so that when you pour on the glaze, it adheres better versus slipping right off!

Keep them in an airtight container up to 1 week. You may freeze them on a large baking tray in a single layer for 2 hours, then transfer to a freezer bag. When you want to enjoy one, just simply let it sit out for a few minutes. I do not recommend heating in the microwave as then the glaze will melt off.

I was inspired to include the caramel with my maple scones when Taste Cando Keto Krisp came out with their new Maple Caramel Sea Salt Bar!

I not only incorporated this zero sugar bar into the scone but also sprinkled it on top as crumbles!

These are my favorite bars to eat on a keto diet! They have many different flavors to choose from including ones with chocolate chips, peanut butter, chocolate mint, and more!

I love not only having one in the morning with a warm cup of coffee, but they are perfect on the go for a little sweet treat!

You can also use them in my other recipes I created like Keto Nanaimo Bars, Keto No Bake Grasshopper Pie, Keto No Bake Blackberry Cheesecake and baked goods like Keto Krisp Butter Pecan Bars or Keto Chocolate Raspberry Krisp Cupcakes!
