Keeping up with the Ratio Rally and my fellow Gluten-Free ladies, this month we’re sharing with you a delicious spread of scones.
All gluten-free and delicious.
But, instead of the usual scone-like shape I decided to get a bit creative.
And I opted for a muffin tin.
Yes, a scone in a muffin shape.
Dense n’ hearty and perfect.
These babies will be gone before you know it. One bite and it’s all over.
Slice ’em in half with a bit o’ jam, nut butter or honey and you’re all set.
Pure heaven. On earth.
In just a mini muffin-like scone.
Because life’s all about the little things and enjoying the unexpected.
So, when someone asks you if you’ve ever had a muffin scone…
You can say, “Surely, I have….”
And I know you’ll be making these again. They’re contagious and adorable.
I simply can’t resist.
With Mother’s Day coming up on Sunday, go ahead and whip up a batch. Momma will be proud and all smiles with each bite.
I promise.
