👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.

---

2️⃣ Cut in the butter

Add cold butter to the bowl and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the flour until crumbly.

This creates the flaky layers!

---

3️⃣ Stir in wet ingredients

Add eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, and orange zest.
Stir until a soft dough forms.

Fold in cranberries.

---

4️⃣ Shape your scones

On a parchment-lined tray, press dough into a thick round disk.
Cut into 8 wedges (or into square biscuits like your picture!)

---

5️⃣ Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, until golden on top.

Let cool to firm up.

---

Optional Sugar-Free Glaze (HIGHLY recommended!)

• ½ cup powdered monk fruit
• 1–2 tbsp orange juice or almond milk
• ½ tsp vanilla

Drizzle over cooled scones for that bakery finish.
