      Great recipe, but the blueberries weren’t listed in the instructions as to when to incorporate them. Would it be after the coconut oil?

      I don't really know what it is but the combination of lemon and blueberry is always just so incredibly delicious to me! These look so delicious, I can imagine them with a light glaze on top, yum!

      As someone who is celiac it's always hard to find gluten-free scones that taste delicious. Will have to try this recipe and make them at home!

      This is an amazing recipe! I loved that I was able to learns all the positive benefits you get from blueberries making it all worthwhile. Not to mention curing a sweet tooth all while omitting resistive digestive ingredients.
      Even better you can freeze and store. Especially since I’m a frequent coffee drinker 🙃❤️

      Keep spreading recipes and facts!
