Servings: 12 people
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 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)
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.
- 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.
