03 Oct Oat and Honey Scones

Oat and Honey Scones I love baking these delicious oatmeal honey scones. They are quick and easy to make and I often have one as a quick breakfast or morning snack if I’m running out the door for a busy day ahead. Perfect with a cup of lemon tea. They’re full of soluble fiber that fills you up and provides long lasting energy. The dates add a lovely natural sweetness but you can also substitue for aprictos or cranberries….
