(Dear Readers – I’m so sorry that this recipe was mislabeled in a newsletter and on the site as being AIP. It contains almond flour and is Paleo, but not AIP. Our sincerest apologies! For another AIP treat option, try Mini Lemon “Cheesecake” with Gingered Date Crust.)

Scones (or scawns if you so choose to pronounce) are a beautiful thing, in my humble opinion.  They’re quick and easy to make in the morning and my kiddos love them.  Paired with my favorite cup of tea, I feel instantly thrown into a Jane Austen novel – minus the corset – until I hear a baby screaming, realize I’m up to my eyeballs in laundry and have to help my 5th grader with fractions.  Then reality hits hard.  Very hard.

My favorite scone recipe is by Katie at Nourishing Flourishing.  I’ve made her Blueberry Scones dozens of times for family, friends, teenage Sunday school girls, and home school co-op kids.  Everyone raves over them and can’t believe they’re grain free.

I decided to try a cranberry orange version of her delightful scones.  With her gracious permission, I’m posting my recipe changes below.  You will need to click on the blueberry scone link above for the original recipe.  Thank you, Katie!
