Scones

My husband gives me the hardest time about my peanut butter consumption. As I began making these peanut butter and jelly scones, he moaned about the fact that I’m constantly making peanut butter recipes (I’m not).

Silk invited me to create a recipe to pair with their new Nutchello drinks, which are dairy, soy and gluten free. I decided vegan strawberry scones made with coconut milk would be the perfect afternoon snack pairing with the new Toasted Coconut & Cashew Nutchello.

Who else is excited about pumpkin spice recipes? It’s the most pumpkiny time of the year! Now that I live in Boston, I’m really looking forward to the fall. It’s been more than 15 years since I lived in WI and could experience the gorgeous fall leaves. I’ve heard fall in Boston is gorgeous, so I’m really looking forward to the changing seasons. I’m especially excited about eating lots of pumpkin spice recipes this fall.

Have you ever made scones before? I know it might seem complicated, but I’m telling you, it is so easy! This orange scone recipe took me less than 20 minutes to make. Scones are super straight-forward baking, even for super novice bakers. The other great thing about this particular recipe is that you can use any type of citrus or you could even swap out the orange for another fruit if you don’t like orange flavoring.

Are you a scone person? I generally find people either love them or really don’t like them. I personally love all types of scones. Even if they are dry or moist, round or triangle-shaped, I like them all. I first fell in love with scones when I went to London. I will never forget the time I went to the Natural History Museum and had their scone with clotted cream. That’s when I first fell in love with scones. Since then, I’ve tried a lot of scone recipes but never a copycat Starbucks blueberry scone recipe, so I thought it was time to try it.
