Keto Cherry Vanilla Scones
These Keto Cherry Vanilla Scones are a delightful treat for breakfast, brunch, or a midday snack. With a tender, cake-like texture, they lean more toward dessert than a traditional scone. Lightly sweet and topped with a luscious vanilla glaze, each bite offers a burst of cherry flavor that perfectly complements the soft, buttery crumb.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour

- Remove the scones from the oven and allow to cool completely.
