I’ve been wanting to make a Keto scone recipe for a while. Something denser than a muffin that I can snack on or as an accompaniment to soup.
These keto bacon and cheese scones are the perfect savoury snack. Nibble on their own, smother in avocado or dunk into a bowl of any hearty keto soup.

Ingredients (makes 15 scones)
Note: Instead of whole flax seeds that will be ground, you can use an equivalent amount of ready-made flax meal (ground flax seeds).
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C/ 375 °F (fan assisted). Blitz the flax seeds in a blender until fine, or optionally use ground flax seeds.
- Combine the ground almonds, flax, coconut flour, baking powder, chives, cheese (reserve some for topping), chives, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Combine.
- Chop the bacon fine and fry in a dry non stick pan for about 3 - 4 minutes until cooked. Allow to cool.
- In a cup, crack open the eggs and whisk with the almond milk using a fork.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet (almond mix to egg mix) and fold to form a dough. Stir through the bacon.
- Roll the dough between two sheets of greaseproof paper until about 1 cm thick.
- Cut into small scone shapes using a cookie cutter (6 cm/ 2 1/2 inch). Re-roll the ‘dough’ until all the mixture is used up.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. After 10 minutes, sprinkle on the rest of the cheese and place back in the oven for the remaining 5 minutes. The scones can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
