- Xanthan Gum – helps the scones to hold their shape.
For The Sugar-Free Maple Glaze
- Butter – you will need unsalted melted butter.

How To Make These Keto Pumpkin Scones
These keto pumpkin scones are so easy to prepare that I choose to make them anytime I crave something sweet and quick to prepare. So here is everything you need to do:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add the wet ingredients to a bowl and mix until frothy.
- Now you can add the dry ingredients and mix until the dough is formed.
- Let the dough sit for a few minutes.
- Make the triangle scones. The dough should be rolled into a ball and placed on the counter. Form the dough into an 8-inch circle and cut it into eight wedges of equal size using a sharp knife.
- Arrange the scones on the baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Make the maple glaze and drizzle over the baked scones right before serving.
Tips For Making The Best Keto Pumpkin Scones
- Place the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes, wrapped in plastic foil, to ensure the scones keep their shape in the oven while baking.
- Feel free to experiment with extra mix-ins! Feel free to add some chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter.
- Do not over-mix the scone dough.
Storing Ideas
- Room-Temperature: you can store these sugar-free pumpkin scones in an airtight container on the counter at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: you can also freeze them in an airtight container covered in plastic foil for up to 3 months.
When ready to enjoy, reheat them in the oven for about 10 minutes or in the microwave for 3-5 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What Are Scones?
With a flaky pastry texture and a biscuit, scones are a sweet treat from wheat flour, butter, whole milk, eggs, and sugar served with jam or clotted cream.
- Are Almond Flour Pumpkin Scones Keto-Friendly?
Even if made with almond flour, not all pumpkin scones are keto since they are sweetened with regular sugar and contain other ingredients high in carbs.
This recipe, for example, is keto-friendly since it’s made with almond flour and coconut flour and sweetened with erythritol, making the scones low in carbs.
