Ingredients

Strawberry Scones:

2 cups almond flour
2 Tbsp egg whites
1 egg
½ tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp lemon juice
½ tsp salt
¾ cup strawberries sliced

Glaze:

1½ cups powdered sugar sugar free for low carb
3-4 Tbsp milk of choice
1 lemon juice and zest
pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°).
Combine all ingredients except for berries in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
Stir in berries (I found my hands to be the best tools for mixing this!)
Transfer dough to a floured surface and mold into square that’s about 7×7 inches.
Cut square into 4ths so you have 4 squares. Cut each of those squares diagonally in half so you have 8 right-angle triangles.
Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake 11–15 minutes, until they begin to brown on top and aren’t mushy.
To make glaze, add all glaze ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
Remove scones from oven, transfer to a wire rack, and drizzle on glaze, if desired.
Allow to cool completely before devouring!
