These Low-carb Bacon and Cheese Scones are gluten-free, ultra-simple to whip up, and made with almond flour, coconut flour, bacon, cheese, and chives.
I love breakfast. Especially the sweet side of it like waffles, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, donuts, and so on. But I always have a love affair with the savory side of breakfast – bacon, scrambled eggs, omelets, bread – you name it. Mm… Delicious!
That’s why I made these low-carb bacon and cheese scones! They are loaded with crispy bacon, mozzarella cheese, eggs, and chives. And because they are made with almond flour, these low-carb bacon and cheese scones are also gluten-free. Isn’t that great? I bet you will wake up very happy knowing that you’ll have them for breakfast!
It’s so easy, simple, and quick to make in no time, just like my Low-Carb Strawberry Coconut Scones and Cranberry Orange Scones. You just need to whisk all the dry ingredients together and whisk the wet ingredients separately. Then combine everything (dry and wet ingredients) together. Then add the cheese, bacon, and chives with your hands. Work the dough into a ball and cut it into 8 equal wedges with a knife. Bake for 20-25 minutes and DONE! It’s as easy as making an omelet. Believe me!
Isn’t that a great way to use bacon, cheese, and eggs in one single recipe? These low-carb bacon and cheese scones melt in your mouth and are perfect warmed with a little bit of butter and a cup of coffee or tea (I don’t like coffee, so tea is the best option for me). The butter gives them great flavor and texture.
Why do I think these Low-carb Bacon and Cheese Scones are the best breakfast recipe for you to try this morning? Because they’re …
- gluten-free and low-carb.
- savory, flaky, and melt-in-your-mouth tender.
- perfect addition to any breakfast, brunch, or even dinner.
- loaded with bacon, cheese, and chives.
And I can’t forget to say that you don’t even need a mixer to make them. Great, right? Mm… So good! And the golden crust is the best! Enjoy!

- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1/4 cup whipping cream or you can use almond milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese save 2 tablespoons for topping
- ½ cup cooked bacon save 1 tbsp for topping
- 3 tablespoons chives chopped (save ½ tsp for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F. Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt together.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg, egg white, and whipping cream.
- Drizzle it over the flour mixture and then toss the mixture together with a rubber spatula.
- Add cheese, bacon, and chives. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- With your hands, work the dough into a ball.
- Press into a neat 8″ disc and cut into 8 equal wedges with a knife.
- Top with cheese, bacon, and chives.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Make sure the scones have space between them before baking as they will end up sticking together.
- Do not try to move the scones until they've cooled as you risk them falling apart when hot.
- Feel free to change the cheese to your favourite! Or use a spicier cheese for more heat in the scones.
- To store: Freshly baked scones will last for about 1 to 2 days when plastic wrapped or placed in an airtight container at room temperature.
- To reheat: You can reheat bacon and cheese scones in the oven or microwave.
- To freeze: You can freeze the scones before or after baking. Bake them directly from frozen when ready to eat if they're unbaked. If baked, bring to room temperature before reheating.

I’ve made these scones last week and they were really yummy! I ate them at room temperature, but you can also freeze them and reheat them in the microwave. This recipe is a keeper!

Awesome! Happy you enjoyed this recipe 😉
Lauren says
I really enjoyed this. Super easy to make. Made it again for a brunch potluck.
I do want to know how you got your nutrition amount? I keep trying to put it into MyFitnessPal but it’s carbs are significantly higher than listed.
Olivia Ribas says
I got at http://nutritiondata.self.com.
Melissa says
BEWARE!!!!MyFitness Pal logs this as 24g of carbs per serving
Olivia Ribas says
It’s because it says 8 serves. If you put on the calculator 12 serves it will reduce a lot. I fixed it on the recipe box.
K Bezeau says
Instructions cut disc into 8 wedges however recipe says 12 servings … caloric measures would be for 8 or 12 servings?
Olivia Ribas says
I just fixed it for you. Thanks for pointing it out 😉
Charlene Lim says
Can I replace the almond flour with coconut flour?
Olivia Ribas says
Unfortunately you can’t!
Meryl says
I’d like to understand the rationale for the addition of 1/4 cup coconut flour, and ask if anything can replace that. I have garbanzo flour and tapioca flour already in the house.
Olivia Ribas says
Sorry, I’m not sure if you can replace coconut flour for garbanzo or tapioca flour because I’ve never made this recipe with these kinds of flour. If you make it, please let m know how it turned out. Thanks
