Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1/3 cup granulated erythritol
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles a coarse meal with small pea-sized pieces of butter.

Step 4

In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

Step 7

Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and form it into a round disc about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Carefully separate the wedges slightly so they have space to expand while baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on the edges.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
