Lemon Scones
Ingredients
- 1½ cup all purpose flour (can use either oat or all-purpose. Macros below assume all-purpose)
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 3 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
- 2 tbsp butter (cold & cubed)
- 3 tbsp sugar free maple syrup
- ½ cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or large fork until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- 3
Add in the Greek yogurt, sugar free syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until there are no more lumps.
- 4
Shape the dough with your hands into a 3/4 inch tall circle on your baking sheet. Brush the top with the 1 tbsp of almond milk.
- 5
Slice the dough circle into 8 evenly sized triangular pieces. Bake for 20 minutes.
- 6
In the meantime, make a glaze (if you choose to have one). I combined some Swerve Confectioners sugar substitute with lemon juice until I got my desired consistency.

After the scones have cooled for about 5 minutes, top with your glaze & enjoy!
