Keto Triple Chocolate Scones

These keto triple chocolate scones make the perfect on-the-go breakfast or fast keto snack. It’s a no-roll recipe that makes chocolate the star by using cocoa powder, baking chocolate, and sugar-free chocolate chips.

This recipe for low-carb chocolate scones is not only decadently rich and delicious, but it’s also super easy to make.  It’s a healthy way to enjoy scones without all the unnecessary sugar and carbs! You’re welcome.

These are incredibly satisfying, and I always manage to silence my sweet tooth without being overly sweet. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or your favorite tea.

If you are a scone lover doing keto, I have a growing collection of keto scones with many flavor variations. So be sure to check them out, too.

Keto Triple Chocolate Scones

What makes these keto-friendly chocolate scones extra rich is that they use not one, not two, but three types of chocolate. Yup, chocolate lovers doing keto are in for a real treat.

Get your dose of chocolate without an ounce of guilt! My keto chocolatey scones stand apart from traditional ones because they use a batter that can be spread rather than rolled.  And that it’s baked in a cast-iron skillet.

They can, however, also be baked in a cake pan.  With that being said, I sure hope that at some point, you get your hands on a cast-iron skillet because the crust it produces is unmatched.

How To Make Keto Triple Chocolate Scones

Traditional scones are a type of quick bread, making them super easy to make. They use baking powder or baking soda instead of yeast as their leavening agent.

Since the dough in this recipe is one you just mix and spread in the pan, it’s pretty much failproof. Keep in mind that these scones are a little less flaky, but other than that, they share lots of similarities to the classic recipe.

These are not only low in carbs, but gluten-free chocolate scones made with a combination of almond flour and coconut flour for the perfect crumb texture.

I added a sugar-free vanilla icing to the recipe that is a nice contrast to the chocolate.

Personally, I think using a high-quality vanilla extract in the batter and the icing is worth the tiny investment. Olive Nation has a great one you may want to try.

Classic scone-making usually involves cold butter that is sliced thinly and cut into the flour. But I use melted butter in my keto scone recipes.

Since keto baking is very different from high-carb baking, somehow, the use of melted butter with the two types of keto-friendly flour works well and keeps the recipe super simple.

Keep in mind that these low-carb scones are void of gluten, so there is no worry about overworking the dough.

It’s what makes these gluten-free triple chocolate scones a great, easy treat for anyone avoiding gluten and doing keto.

Below are the ingredients you’ll need. Note that the full printable recipe card is at the bottom of the page.

Best Sugar Substitutes For Sugar-Free Chocolate Scones

My top choice is a monk fruit/erythritol blend. My personal favorite is Lakanto’s brand. But you can also use Swerve an erythritol sugar substitute.

You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure for most of my baked goods. However, I will add that I am not a fan of stevia-based ingredients in chocolate. I just find that it intensifies the aftertaste.

If you still plan on using Pyure, you will want to use half the amount called for in this recipe since it’s a much sweeter choice.

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda for baking or a generic brand of the same. It will work with great success.

I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar. When it comes to the keto vanilla glaze, you will have to use a confectioner’s sugar substitute. Both Lakanto and Swerve have great ones to choose from.

My failed attempts when I first went keto are what caused me to be very intentional with my Keto Baking recipes, like these scones.

I threw away so many ingredients in the beginning, and I never want anyone to be so frustrated that they give up on the diet before they can see long-lasting results.

Even though those early days were not fun, the fact that I stayed the course has made this journey very rewarding.

Besides, if I had quit at the first sign of struggle, I would not have had the opportunity to engage with you all.

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement 

Randy and I came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective. As believers, we live our lives supported by God’s grace.

So when the Holy Spirit led us to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.

To say we needed God’s intervention is to put it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s prompting, we got on the path to real transformation.

Knowing firsthand the benefits of this decision, we have created a closed Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives. 

We invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you have been missing.

Be sure to request our FREE Jesus and Keto E-Book (First 7 Days). We hope it blesses you.
