Healthy oatmeal and almond scones
(gluten- free)
Scones are one of my favorite bakes. I fell in love with scones when I lived in London. The British sure knows how to make their scones, and there are huge differences.. These healthy oatmeal and almond scones are definitively on the healthy side, and they are also healthy gluten-free scones. But else than that they have all the good things that a scone should have. Moistness, crisp on the outside and perfectly paired to both sweet and savory toppings.
If you want to make the perfect scones, check out my post about How to make the perfect scones, The perfect scone recipe, and my other healthy recipe of scones the healthy scones with oatmeal.
One of my favorite toppings to these healthy oatmeal and almond scones is the light version of a blue cheese spread, topped with sweet strawberries (pictured below).
Low fat blue cheese spread: I mix 1/4 parts of Blue cheese with 3/4 parts of cottage cheese with a fork or a blender, to get a more protein boosted and low fat spread. Top it with berries, grapes or a dash honey. YUM!
And by the way; I am back! The last weeks has been crazy (in a good way!). But I have made loads of yummy food for you guys, I just haven´t had time to post it. But finally here it comes! Starting out with these healthy oatmeal and almond scones.
