No Granulated Sugar? No Problems.
One thing that makes your foods unhealthy is granulated sugar. I’ve carefully crafted this blueberry scone recipe using monk fruit sweetener, not that white sugar stuff, transforming it into a healthy option for the start of your day.
The best thing about this blueberry scone recipe is that it requires no granulated sugar. It is easy to make as well as for prepping ahead of time. Also, you can store them in the freezer after baking and reheat them whenever desired. These are not only tasty but also good for you, so you can feel free to serve this tasty breakfast to the whole fam! If you love these scones, you will enjoy my baked pumpkin oats, honey butter rolls and frozen yogurt bars.
Where Did Scones Originate From?
The origins of scones are slightly mysterious, though the majority opinion places their creation in 16th-century Scotland. They had a quick bread called ‘bannocks’ that was similar, and it is believed that scones were born from this oat-based flatbread. What thing about me? I love Scotland, and I love some scones!

How to Make Nutritious Blueberry Scones (Step-by-Step):
Start your day off right, or plan a holiday brunch like I did for Easter and whip these delicious, nutritious blueberry scones up by following these steps! See the recipe card for detailed descriptions.
- Freeze Butter
Plan ahead and start by freezing your butter in advance since you’ll need it to be stiff prior to grating it into your dough mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients
Place all the dry ingredients into a clean bowl and combine, then set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients.
In a clean bowl, add the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to combine and set aside.
- Grate the Butter.
Once your butter is frozen solid, grate it into your dry ingredients and mix. it should look like breadcrumbs. You can also grate butter separately, add it to the dry ingredients, and then combine. (Remember to work fast)
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and combine. Add the frozen blueberries halfway to the mixing, and continue to mix until it forms a dough. This requires you to be gentle, as the blueberries may begin to squash if you are forceful.
- Cut the Dough.
Once the dough is formed, sprinkle some flour on your cutting board and roll out your dough, ensuring at least 1-inch thickness. Cut the dough into eight equal parts as desired. Place the cut scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cool Before Baking.
Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before baking (if you have time).
- Bake.
When it’s time to bake, brush over the tops with milk or egg first. Then, place them in your preheated oven at 375F and bake for 20 – 22 minutes.
Recipe Notes for These Blueberry Scones.
- When you grate the frozen butter and mix it with the dry ingredients, it should resemble bread crumbs. Alternatively, grate the butter separately and then drop it into your dry ingredients.
- If you have the time, I highly recommend you put the scone dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before you bake. They will still come out great even if you don’t take this step.
- Cut the dough into any shape you like – I spread mine out like a pizza pie and then cut it into triangles like a pizza, though you can do circles or squares. Just make sure you cut 8 equal pieces.
How Do You Ensure That The Dough Doesn’t Fall Apart?
Scone dough tends to have a reputation for falling apart, but the trick is to make sure you mix it well while not overworking it. Handle it gently when you shape it, and make sure that butter is frozen before you put it into the mixture.
What Do You Serve with Blueberry Scones?
- Butter? Cream? Fresh sauce/preserve?
- Cozy Chocolate Hot Cocoa
- Sweet Iced Tea (alternative you can do hot tea black tea with milk)
- Tea, Coffee and Lattés
- Chicken Salad
- Chicken fettuccine Alfredo
- As part of dinner with beef short ribs (main), fried rice, sautéed cabbage, and steamed broccoli (sides); as seen on our Easter 2025 spread below:
Variations and Substitutions
- Try them with fresh blueberries when they’re in season.
- Swap out frozen blueberries for another berry fruit, like frozen strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.
- Add lemon zest to give them even more delicious flavor.
- Get creative and cut them into any shape you desire!
- Sprinkle coarse or raw sugar on top before baking for texture. I skipped this step. If you wish to sprinkle sugar on top use turbinado sugar.
- Make a glaze with powdered sugar and drizzle on top after they have cooled down.
How to Store Scones Leftovers
You can just pop these in an airtight container and leave them on the counter for a day or two, or keep them in the fridge for a week. They freeze well too as long as you wrap them individually, and can last for up to 3 months.
Classic Blueberry Scones Recipe FAQs:
Yes, you absolutely can! If you have fresh blueberries instead of frozen ones, go for it!
Avoid overworking the dough, which can ruin the texture of your scones. Also, never use warm butter. Make sure you prepare ahead of time to freeze your butter.
Scones are usually considered unhealthy, especially if you top them with jams or other toppings. But these blueberry scones are a healthier version since they do not have granulated sugar, making them a great choice.
The secret is in mixing the dough well enough without overworking it to death and measuring properly to avoid adding too much flour. Along with using frozen butter, these all go a long way to ensuring good scones. Check my recipe and follow it accordingly to have the best blueberry scones!
You’ll want to bake your scones at 375F for 20 minutes so that they’ll be a lovely golden brown on top.

- 1 egg
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- ½ Ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- ½ Ground ginger
- ½ tsp salt
