These scones pair perfectly with a hot cup of coffee on a cold morning.
I love how perfectly portioned these scones are. Since they’re small, they make a great mid-morning snack.
These scones taste a bit like a biscotti with how dry and crunchy they are. If you make them, you’ll want to have some coffee or milk with them.
I used to always choose a chocolate chip scone whenever I had the chance at bakeries and coffee shops. I’m glad I gave that up, but I’m even more glad that I’ve finally found a much healthier alternative.
It’s unbelievable that they’re completely refined sugar-free! They’re perfectly sweet, but not overly sugary, like bakery scones.
I could literally eat one… or two of these scones every day.
These scones are:
Wonderfully crunchy and dry
Perfectly sweet
Completely refined sugar-free
Surprisingly nutritious
Amazing with coffee, milk or tea
