Keto Iced Pumpkin Scones are yummy low carb pumpkin spice scones with lovely, sweet & creamy vanilla cream cheese icing.
These keto pumpkin scones are fabulous with coffee or tea for a morning or midday treat.
Scones with warm fall spices and frosted with a cream cheese vanilla icing that everyone loves.
This was inspired by my Keto Pumpkin Bundt Cake recipe.
Do you remember the first time you tried a scone? I remember my first time tasting a scone, how good it was, and how the incredible texture was crisp, crumbly, and soft.
I was trying to think of a new & different fall pumpkin recipe that is low in carbs and gluten-free.
