SERVING IDEAS:

• Serve your maple pecan scones with a keto-friendly coffee; we can serve this scone with a maple latte prepared with unsweetened almond milk and a little cinnamon, to avoid adding sugar. We can add Erythritol or monk fruit for sweetness.
• We can also serve these delicious maple pecan scones with a spoon of heavy whipped cream which is sweetened with keto sweetener.
• Drizzle the homemade or store-bought keto caramel sauce on the maple pecan scones to add buttery taste and to make them sweeter.
• We can also add spoon of Greek yogurt to complement the richness of the maple pecan scones.
• If you want to serve your scones in a fancy way then serve them with the scoop of keto-friendly vanilla or cinnamon ice cream. The tastes of pecan and maple go well with it.
• We can also serve the maple pecan scones with the fresh berries, such as blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries, on the side because they provide a crisp, juicy counterpoint with some crunch and sweetness.
• Serve the almond or pecan butter with these maple and pecan scones to complement the nutty flavor of these scones.
• If we want a savory side than we can serve these maple pecan scones with the crispy bacons & maple syrups; it is going to be a great pair.

TIPS:

• If you want to make the perfect maple pecan scones then use perfectly grounded almond flour; it will give the perfect texture and taste. Avoid using defatted almond flour, though, since it is quite dry and powdery.
• The scones themselves aren’t particularly sweet its glaze adds a significant amount of sweetness. If you do not want to glaze the scones, I suggest adding 1/3 to 1/2 cup of sweetness to the scones.
• Many stores have the replica of these maple stores and we cannot easily find the original maple extract on every store so try to obtain the original maple extract.
• If you want to make these maple and pecan scone dairy-free then make it with coconut cream and coconut oil or avocado oil instead of using whipped cream.
