Whether you’re looking for a healthy breakfast pastry or a sweet, but guilt-free, treat to enjoy in the afternoon with tea, these almond cherry scones fit the bill. The almond flavor enhances the cherry flavor of these moist, lightly sweetened scones resulting in a flaky, decadent scone with a bit of almond crunch.

It’s cherry season! Cherries are piled high in every market I go to. Gorgeous, deep red cherries that make me dream of cherry pie. Unfortunately, at 19 grams of carbs per cup, I have to eat them judiciously.

In this recipe, I focused on getting lots of cherry taste without a lot of carbs. I only use a half cup of cherries, then augment the flavor with almonds. This creates a tasty scone, bursting with cherry essence, but still low in carbs.

Enjoy!
