Certainly! If you’re looking for a keto-friendly scone recipe suitable for pregnant women, you might want to consider the following recipe. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet during pregnancy.
Keto Pregnant Scones Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup Erythritol or any keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 cup blueberries or chopped nuts
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If desired, gently fold in blueberries or nuts.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly almond-floured surface. Shape it into a circle and flatten it to about 1-inch thickness.
- Cut the dough into wedges (like a pizza) and place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy your keto-friendly pregnant scones!
Remember to monitor your intake of sweeteners and ingredients based on your individual dietary needs and consult with your healthcare provider about your diet during pregnancy.
