Delicious low carb scones with cheese and nuts

I got this easy scones recipe at work today. I would like to share it with you as these scones was very good. Perfect for your low carb breakfast! Serve it with ham and mayonnaise, sugarfree low carb jam, cream cheese, scrambled egg and bacon or your favorite low carb sandwich topping.

Low carb breakfast scones with cheese and nuts


80 grams butter
120 grams grated cheese
4 large eggs
120 grams ground almonds
120 grams ground walnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder

Melt the butter, shred the cheese and whip the eggs lightly together.
Ground almonds and walnuts in a grinder or food processor.
Add butter, cheese, almonds/walnuts and baking powder into the egg mixture.

If mixture becomes too dry, you may add a little water.

Pour batter into muffin forms.
The recipe says 8 to 12 pieces, but my collegue at work baked 15-16 pieces, so it depends on the size of the muffin forms.

Bake at 180 degrees for about 15 min.
Cool before removing from the muffin tray/forms.

Variation: Fried bacon, cooked ham, chorizo or shrimps and different spices/herbs can be added to the mixture.
The low carb scones are kept in a close box in the refrigerator for 2 days. Can also be frozen.

Hope you enjoy your freshly baked low carb breakfast scones.
Bon Appetit!
