What makes the ultimate soup accessory? These low-carb pizza scones! All the flavours of your favourite pepperoni pizza but in a buttery, crumbly scone. Are you reaching for the ingredients yet?!
Low-carb bread is great, but sometimes it’s not always easy to set aside the time to make it, these savoury low-carb pizza scones are a great alternative. They’re a delicious keto accompaniment to any low-carb soup.
They’re great on their own, with just a spread of grass-fed butter or some smashed avocado. I also love them as a side to a comforting bowl of healthy keto soup like our Soul Food Chicken Meatball Soup or Creamy Low-carb Vegetable Soup.

Ingredients (makes 6 servings)
- 1 cup almond flour (100 g/ 3.5 oz)
- 1 tbsp flax meal (7 g/ 0.3 oz)
- 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 large egg white
- 2 tbsp almond milk or water (30 ml), plus a little to brush the tops
- 3 tbsp butter or ghee, cut into chunks (43 g/ 1.5 oz)
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (28 g/ 1 oz)
- 1/2 cup Swiss cheese such as Gruyere (60 g/ 2.1 oz)
- 8 slices Pepperoni or chorizo slices, chopped (24 g/ 0.9 oz)
- 6 pieces sun-dried tomatoes (18 g/ 0.6 oz) or 2 tbsp Marinara Sauce (30 ml)
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 °C/ 355 °F (fan assisted), or 200 °C/ 400 °F (conventional). Add dry ingredients (almond flour, flax, salt, baking powder, baking soda and salt) to a food processor and pulse to blend. I like to do this because it mixes things evenly.
- Mix the egg and almond milk in small bowl and set aside.
- Rub the butter through the dry ingredients to form a crumb.
- Add the cheese, pepperoni, sun-dried tomatoes, herbs and the egg & almond milk mix and combine to form a dough. If sticky add a little more almond flour.
- Place on a greaseproof lined baking tray. Shape into a disk about 1 inch thick, smoothing the edges with your fingers so there’s no cracking. Place in fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
- Using a sharp knife, cut into 6 even triangles. Separate the triangles so there’s plenty of space between them. Brush the tops with a little almond milk.
- Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden. Place on a wire rack to cool. Store in a fridge for 3 days or a freezer for 2 months.
