Blueberry Almond Scones for you today. A few weeks ago, a came across a recipe for Paleo Blueberry Scones. It was on the blog Fed and Fit. She has lots of great recipes! Definitely check her out!
I have been craving scones for while now. These were so delicious and I can see so many variations on this recipe in the future.
I deviated from the original recipe a bit, and I think it came out great! If you enjoy blueberry recipes this time of year, you may also like my Blueberries and Cream Popsicles or my Banana Blueberry Muffins.
I love almond extract, so I try and add it whenever I can. I went so well in these blueberry almond scones.
I also made mine vegan by using flax eggs. I loved that the original recipe called for cashews as a base. You all know I love making all my flourless cookie recipes with cashews!
I hope you enjoy it this as well.
