Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cup all-purpose flour (180g)
½ cup almond flour (54g)
2 Tbsp cornstarch
¼ cup sugar of choice , use monk fruit sweetener for lower carb option
½ tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder

WET INGREDIENTS

¼ cup melted coconut oil (50g)
⅓ cup Greek yogurt , I used 0% Fat Greek Yogurt.
3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream of choice , cold

GLAZE INGREDIENTS**

½ cup powdered sugar of choice , use powdered monk fruit sweetener for lower carb option
1 Tbsp Greek yogurt

Instructions

Make the Dough

In a medium 4-quart mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, almond flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix well.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt coconut oil in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Add the Greek yogurt.
Add the coconut oil-yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients all at once. First use a spoon to roughly mix the dough.
The batter will still be clumpy. Mix in 3 tablespoons of cold heavy cream (or more as needed) and use both your hands to bring the dough together without overworking it.
📝TIP: instead of "kneading" the dough, use the flat of your palm to press the dough into shape. Think of it more as gently pressing and shaping rather than traditional kneading, which can make the scones tough. It's also ok if the dough is not completely smooth.

Shape and Cut the Dough

Flatten the dough into a rectangular shape and pre-heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). For best results, chill the dough for at least 20 minutes while the oven pre-heats.
📝TIP: You can also freeze the dough as is to bake later! Wrap in a ziploc bag or plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month.
Cut the dough into 4-6 equal rectangular portions using a pastry cutter or knife.

Bake the Scone

Place the scone squares on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
If baking from frozen, bake for 30-35 minutes.

Glaze the Scones

As the scones bake, mix the greek yogurt and powdered sugar together in a small bowl. For a thinner icing, add more greek yogurt.
Once the scones are baked, let cool for 10 minutes before drizzling the glaze onto the top of the scones. Transfer to a wire rack so that excess glaze can drip down. Enjoy!
