Ingredients
Scones
2 cups almond flour
1/3 cup Swerve Brown
2 Tablespoons coconut flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 large egg
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze
2 Tablespoons Swerve Brown
2 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup Swerve Confectioner’s
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Scones
1- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and preheat oven to 325F
2-Whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, coconut flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the chopped pecans. Add the egg, butter, cream and vanilla extract and stir until the dough comes together.
3-Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and shape by hand into a rough circle, 7-8 inches in diameter. Slice into 8 even wedges and separate carefully, then space evenly around the baking sheet.
4-Bake 18-25 minutes, or until scones are firm and lightly browned. Keep an eye on the bottoms to make sure they don’t burn. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan.
Glaze
1-In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the Swerve Brown and the butter together, whisking until the sweetener is dissolved. Remove from heat.
2-Whisk in the Swerve Confectioner’s and vanilla extract until smooth. Use just enough cream to make the glaze a good drizzling consistency. Drizzle or spread over cooled scones.
