About This Recipe

Keto Maple Bacon Almond Flour Scones use almond flour as the structural base instead of wheat. Almond flour does not create gluten, so shape depends on butter and eggs rather than kneading. Cold butter cut into dry ingredients provides lift and crumb when heated. Sugar-free maple syrup supplies moisture and binds without adding glucose. Bacon offers salt and a crisp contrast to the almond base.

The dough is mixed in stages to avoid over-hydration. Almond flour, baking powder, and salt establish the dry foundation. Cold cubed butter must be cut in until small pieces remain, because those pockets melt during baking and create separation. Crumbled bacon is folded in last so fat does not interfere with the dry bind. Eggs and syrup form the wet element and must be mixed separately so distribution is even.

The dough is shaped into a disc, not rolled flat. Because almond flour contains no gluten, forcing height means the scones spread outward—not upward—so the dough is cut into wedges before baking. The baking sheet must be lined so butter does not scorch. Oven heat sets structure in the first 10 minutes and browns edges at the end.

No glaze is required because sugar-free syrup already supplies sweetness. If topping is desired, a brush of sugar-free syrup after baking adds flavor without coating. The scones rest on the sheet for a few minutes to finalize texture. They store well and can be reheated without drying. If you want another baked breakfast item, Almond Flour Waffles match the macro structure. For bacon-forward breakfast, Keto Bacon Cheddar Breakfast Waffles work as a savory option.
