I am so excited that it’s National Chocolate Chip Day because I get to share one of my favorite recipes with you. This chocolate chip scone recipe is one that I’ve been making for years and it’s one that dear hubby and I both enjoy.
It’s been adapted from the scone recipe in The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam. It’s naturally low in carbs because of the almond flour but is easily adaptable to go even lower, which I do with the low carb sweetener and sugar free chocolate chips. It’s also gluten free.
I love this recipe because it tastes great and it fits into my low carb, diabetic lifestyle. I don’t feel guilty when I have these and they are in regular rotation at my house! I hope you’ll give them a try.
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup grapeseed oil
- 1/4 cup SF Davinci Sweetening Syrup (or any liquid sweetener)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup SF Hershey's Chocolate Chips (or any chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Mix wet ingredients together.
- Stir wet ingredients into dry until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop batter in 1/4 cup portions about 2 inches apart onto baking sheet.
- Bake 12-17 minutes at 350 degrees, until golden brown or a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Do u have an approx idea of the carb count? Thanks!0
Esther,
I don’t have the SF Hersheys chips in the house right now but I did a little investigating online. If you make these exactly as listed in my ingredients then the carb count should be around 7 per scone. I sometimes make this with Dagoba Chocodrops 73% which are not sugar free but lower in carbs. If I use these then the carb count is about 14 per scone.
Hope this is helpful :-)
I’ve been soooo curious about almond flour! These scones look so so sooo delicious!

I love almond flour recipes and this is one of my faves :-)
Wow!! All I need is some eggs and I’m DEFINITELY making these!! Perhaps before I move b/c I have both almond flour AND chocolate chips that need “used up”! :)
Sounds like you have the perfect storm brewing in your kitchen … I hope you love them as much as I do :-)
Your chocolate chip scones are definitely mouth-watering! And it looks really soft and moist. I’ll give this a try! How many cookies can you make with the recipe that you gave?

This recipe made eight scones. Thanks for bringing this to my attention because I should have provided that information in the recipe. Also, thanks for visiting Food Stories, Sara :-)
These look awesome! Love that they’re low in carbs AND that you can just drop them like you would cookies. Can’t wait to try these!

Oh, it does, my friend :-)
I never had used almond flour yet, does it handle same like the normal flour?
Raymund – Doesn’t completely work the same as regular flour in all situations, it’s a little heavier. I’ll sometimes swap out a portion of my regular flour and put this in. Thx for stopping by :-)
I’d better have a choc chip cookie today in celebration of the day! These look fantastic :)
