These cheese scones are perfect for a low carbohydrate or keto diet. They are also a tasty option to go alongside soup that is low in carbs.


Ingredients for Cheese Scones

(Makes 12)


360g ground almonds

240g cheddar cheese, grated

1 tbsp baking powder

½ tsp cayenne (optional but adds a teeny, tiny kick)

4 eggs, beaten

50g butter melted

A pinch or so of ground sea salt



Method for Cheese Scones


  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C fan and line a baking sheet with baking parchment.

  • In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients ground almonds, cheese and baking powder. Add as much cayenne as you like (personally, I like a decent pinch), and a little ground salt.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and the melted butter together, making sure you don’t scramble the eggs. (If I’m being lazy, which is often, I just chuck these two ingredients into the dry mix).

  • Then mix the egg mixture into the dry mixture.

  • Use your hands to form the mixture into loose balls and place on the baking parchment.

  • Place in the centre of the oven and bake for 15 – 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 140C but bake for a further 5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
