🍊✨ Diabetic-Friendly Cranberry Orange Scones

Ingredients (Makes 8 scones)

2 cups almond flour
½ cup oat flour (or finely ground oats)
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1–2 tbsp granulated sugar substitute (like Swerve, Monkfruit, or Stevia blend)
1 large egg
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat milk)
3 tbsp melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest of 1 orange
½ cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
- Or ⅓ cup sugar-free dried cranberries if preferred

🥣 Instructions

1. Preheat oven

Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

almond flour
oat flour
baking powder
