Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350 and place the rack in to the middle position.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- Toast the walnuts on a small cookie sheet in a 350 oven for approximately 15 minutes.
- Cool a bit and chop.
- Combine and Mix: Add the dry ingredients (the first five ingredients) to a medium bowl and stir with a whisk to break up any lumps.
- In a small microwaveable bowl, melt the butter (about 30 seconds).
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, maple extract and stevia.
- Mix well with a fork.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and using a spoon or rubber spatula, thoroughly blend the ingredients together.
- Do not use a mixer! Shape the Scones: Line a sheet pan with a piece of parchment.
- Sprinkle a little almond flour over the surface.
- Turn out the dough for the scones onto the parchment and sprinkle the surface with granulated sweetener (Sukrin :1, Swerve granulated, or erythritol).
- Gently pat or roll the dough into a circle or a rectangle of 1/2- 3/4 inch thickness.
- Cut into 12 pieces.
- Gently lift each piece with a spatula and place it in its own spot on the parchment.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes.
- Remove to a rack and cool completely.
- Maple Glaze: Put the butter and cream cheese into a small microwaveable bowl.
- Microwave for 30 seconds and stir with a fork until completely combined and there are no lumps.
- Return to the microwave if needed.
- (There will be tiny pieces of cream cheese that don't melt, it's okay.) Add the sugar-free pancake syrup and stir, then the 3 tablespoons of sweetener.
- If the glaze is really thick, warm it up again.
- Drizzle over the maple walnut scones with the fork or a spoon.
