    These keto ham and cheese scones just made your lunch time a lot more fun! They’re easy to make and pair perfectly with a low carb salad or soup. Instructional video included!Easy and delicious low carb Ham and Cheese Scones

    My husband is a sandwich guy. For as long as I have known him, which is 20-some-odd years, he’s always loved his sandwiches. Back when we first met, this tall string bean of a man was eating three sandwiches for lunch every day. I kid you not! His metabolism was such that he was never full and could simply pack it away, goodness knows where. Possibly in those extremely long legs. He loves piling his sandwiches high too. He calls them Super Dupers and he puts on several different kinds of lunchmeat, various assorted cheeses, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Kind of like those old Dagwood cartoons, so big you can barely get your mouth around it.

    Consequently, we always have a selection of lunchmeat in our house. I am always pushing him to make nutritious choices, and look for meats without added preservatives*, artificial colours and flavours. Because when you eat that many sandwiches, those things can add up quickly. He’s become quite the label reader, thanks to me and he really likes the HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® lunch meats. They are 100% natural* and can be found easily at our local grocery stores, without costing more than other lunchmeat. My kids really love them too and the smoked deli ham is a particular favourite. When you’re making Dagwood-style sandwiches, it’s nice to have these good choices. Grain-Free Low Carb Ham and Cheese Scones The sandwich habit is not an easy one to break, it would seem. I have to be creative to come up with alternatives that might lure the man away from his sandwiches. Taking some of his precious lunchmeat and including them in something delicious is one way to do it. And making it in an easily portable package so that he can take it work helps too. Because mornings are tough in our house and there’s very little time for fancy or complicated lunch-making. Delicious low carb almond flour Ham & Cheese Scones. I nailed it with these savoury Ham & Cheese scones. I paired them with containers of soup or our homemade chili, and he and the kids took them to work and to school several days running. They were even easier than making sandwiches, and I loved knowing they were getting a nutritious and filling meal. And I found the scones to be just what I needed to round out a salad for my own lunch. Jam-packed with healthy smoked deli ham, they had great flavour and were so easy to make. I foresee a trend here…

      Hi Carolyn
      I really dislike coconut and can taste the tiniest bit. If I want to make these without it can I add more almond flour. If so, how much more? I really appreciate you. Thanks. Sheila

        You will need to at least use 3x the almond flour in place of the coconut flour. So if it’s 1/4 cup, you need 3/4 cup almond flour.

      Somewhere in the back of my mind, I thought I’d seen a ham and cheese scone recipe on your website, but for some reason I had never collected it. I did that yesterday and made them today. They are so good; we’re going to have tomato basil soup (from one of your blog buddies) again tonight just so we have a reason to eat more scones.
      Keep up the good work. I don’t know what we’d do without you.

      I am new to Keto baking. I find them a bit dense. It is not enough cooking or just what I need to get used to?

        What almond flour did you use? But also… scones are supposed to be dense. 🙂

      My husband cannot eat cooked cheese, could I use say Zucchini or something in place of it.

        Zucchini would not be a good replacement since it adds moisture. You can just leave out the cheese if need be. Maybe add some fresh herbs for more flavor?

      Awesome! I have recently started the real Keto diet instead of my version of what Keto diet is really. I have been wanting bread and this is my first recipe.

      I may want to add fresh jalapenos to give it a little kick.

      I don’t use FB on a regular basis however, a friend invited me to the FB group. I am glad she did!

      Thank you for sharing!
