Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Scones
Pondripples creates delicious recipes that are also healthy.
Start your day off with scones packed with oatmeal and omega-3 fatty acids.
Healthy Breakfast Bread
This recipe produces an almost savory but yummy breakfast bread. It's the result of a series of experiments with substitution on traditional Scottish scones. This version passed the taste test for me and my 5-year-old, and I hope you like it, too.
If you don't have flax meal and are not concerned about cholesterol, replace the flax and water with an egg. This will make the scones less crumbly, but you lose some of the omega-3 fatty acids from the flax.
