These Raspberry Scones are bursting with fresh flavors of raspberry and orange zest. Lightly sweetened, moist and they go perfect with your morning coffee or as an afternoon snack. Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Paleo, No Added Refined Sugars.
So let me just start by saying after my first bite of one of these beauties I was like…..
“YUM” they taste just like raspberry jam.
Which was probably my favorite jam growing up….
Especially slathered between two pieces of bread with some peanut butter.
Oh the joys of childhood!!
But to be honest… I haven’t bought any kind of jam in years.
Nor do I really buy much bread… cause let’s face it…
Gluten free store bought breads are really not that good and quite pricey.
So what makes a scone a scone……
Well I’ve seen so many variations of them but one definition I found for “what is a scone” was….
A small lightly sweetened or unsweetened biscuit like cake made from flour, milk, fat and sometimes having fruit added.
And another thing that distinguishes scones from say a regular biscuit would be the addition of eggs.
But with sooo many variations of flour, fat, and milk you can really play around with a lot of variations.
So get creative with your scone making and try different variations.
But since my favorite flours to bake with are Almond flour and Coconut flour then that’s what I used in these Raspberry Scones.
What other variations of scones can I make?
You can use any variation of fruits you like…. cranberries, blueberries, blackberries.
Switch up the milks or fat depending on your personal preferences.
Are scones freezer friendly?
Yes… you can easily freeze them for longer storage in an airtight freezer bag.
They also will keep for at least a week in a covered container in the fridge.
