Yesterday here in Dallas is was dreary and rainy. That always makes me want to bake. So I made you these Sweet Potato Scones. Not only are they super delicious, they are vegan, gluten free and grain free!
Do you like to bake on rainy days? I got the idea to make these scones from a reader. Sometimes you guys have the best ideas! I love all your suggestions and truly write them all down in my everenote. I have a very long list now!
If you like baking in the rain, I highly recommend my flourless salted caramel cookies or my banana blueberry muffins.
