These Pistachio Cranberry Scones are easy to make at home and have all the flavor of a classic baked good but without sugar. Seriously, they are so scrumptious! Homemade deliciousness! As a result of no sugar, you can eat these with less guilt than sugar-filled ones or store-bought versions.

There’s something irresistible about the combo of cranberries and pistachio. You’ll love the pop of sweetness from the cranberries and the distinct taste of the pistachio nut.

Main Ingredients for Pistachio Cranberry Scones

Here is what goes into these scones, making them both immensely tasty and remarkably easy to make:

• flour
• granulated sweetener
• baking powder
• cream of tartar
• salt

You make this recipe in one bowl and on a lightly-floured surface.

They’re simple and easy to shape but not basic tasting. They deserve high marks! Maybe even a blue ribbon!

With this Pistachio Cranberry Scones recipe having no added sugar – using Splenda products – it’s perfect for those living with diabetes, I also recently read that pistachios are good for lowering blood sugar levels. Check out the article here.

This recipe originated on Splenda.com here. After a test run, I made a number of changes though, increasing select ingredients and subbing heavy cream for whole milk. Last, I switched from baking soda to baking powder and added an optional glaze.

You’re going to want to make these again and again. And the cool part is you can change up what you mix in to customize and make it your own. Enjoy!
