Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup erythritol
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky.
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a circle about 8 inches in diameter and roughly 1-inch thick.
Use a sharp knife to score the dough into 8 wedges, gently separating them slightly to allow for more even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are firm and lightly browned.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Once completely cooled, serve the scones as a delightful keto-friendly treat!
