Raspberry-Filled Low-Carb Sourdough Scones

Double the layers, double the flavor—with a nourishing twist! There’s something undeniably comforting about a warm, jam-filled scone fresh from the oven. And these Raspberry-Filled Low-Carb Sourdough Scones? They take that comfort to a whole new level. Picture this: two tender, buttery layers of almond flour scone dough, stacked with a vibrant ribbon of sugar-free raspberry jam baked right in between. Each bite delivers a perfect balance of sweet and tart, soft and golden—a true double-decker delight.

As always, I’ve given this classic a nourishing makeover. These scones are:

✔️ Low-Carb & Sugar-Free ✔️ Boosted with Collagen & Oat Fiber ✔️ Made with Real Sourdough Starter

I love using my traditional sourdough discard in low-carb recipes to add tang, texture, and depth. It brings a subtle, fermented flavor that perfectly complements the fruity filling. Plus, with the added protein from unflavored collagen peptides and the fiber from oat fiber, these scones aren’t just delicious—they’re functional fuel for your day.

Raspberry-Filled Low-Carb Sourdough Scones Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups almond flour

• 2 tsp baking powder

• ⅛ tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• 3 Tbsp cold butter, cubed

• 1 large egg

• 2 Tbsp heavy cream

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• ⅓ cup regular sourdough starter (unfed/discard is fine)

• ½ to ¾ cup sugar-free raspberry jam

Instructions:

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

7. Place one disc on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the raspberry jam on top, leaving a ½-inch border around the edge.

8. Carefully place the second disc over the jam, pressing the edges slightly to seal.

9. Slice into 6–8 wedges without fully separating them.

10. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch.

11. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before separating the wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
