Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, erythritol sweetener, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the chilled butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until a dough forms. If using, fold in the blueberries carefully.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface (using almond flour) and shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Gluten-Free Scones warm or at room temperature.
