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.

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.

✔️ 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.
