Ingredients
  

Scones:

  • ½ cup coconut flour divided
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • ¼ cup butter chilled, cubed
  • 2 large egg
  • ¼ cup erythritol
  • ¼ teaspoon liquid stevia
  • cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoon low-carb maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon some for topping

Icing:

  • ¼ cup coconut butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 20 drop liquid stevia

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour (reserving about an eighth for later), baking powder, salt, flaxseed, coconut oil, and orange zest.
  • Mix the ingredients before adding in the cubed, chilled butter.
  • Use a fork to mash the butter into the mixture to create a crumbly dough. Set it aside for later.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs, erythritol, and liquid stevia using a hand mixer.
  • Once the eggs are pale in color, add in the heavy cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix again until the cream starts to thicken.
  • Add the reserved coconut flour and xanthan gum and continue mixing to thicken the mixture.
  • Pour most of the cream mixture into the dough (reserving a couple of tablespoons), and mix until well incorporated. Set the reserved cream to the side for later.
  • Add about three-quarters of the cinnamon to the dough and mix again until combined.
  • Knead the dough to form a solid ball.
  • Mold the dough into a flat, relatively thick circle (about 1–1½").
  • Cut the dough into slices, as you would cut a pizza.
  • Place the pieces of dough in a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of the scones with the leftover cream mixture and sprinkle over the remaining cinnamon.
  • Bake for 15–17 minutes. In the meantime, mix the icing ingredients.
  • Remove the scones from the oven and let cool for 20–30 minutes before icing.
  • Drizzle with icing and serve!
