Step 1: Prep the Oven

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

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, Swerve, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3: Add Pecans

Fold in toasted chopped pecans—this adds crunch and warmth to every bite.

Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients

Stir in the egg, melted butter, heavy cream, and maple extract until a soft dough forms.

Step 5: Shape the Scones

Form dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Slice into 6 equal wedges and space them slightly apart on the baking sheet.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, until lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 7: Glaze

Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cooled scones and let set for a few minutes.
