I came across this scone recipe when I wanted a fruit scone but, was all out of fresh and frozen fruit. Ya know when you need a homemade baked sweet and will find a way?

These scones might sound different being they have dried apricots in them but, the apricot is diced. The subtle sweetness from the apricots and the wholesomeness from the oats make these so good!

Amazing with a cup of coffee! This would make my top 5 breakfasts list for sure! Also, great anytime of the day!

This scones recipe is more traditional and they are more dry then my moist Chocolate Chip Coconut Scones. I promise you will like them though! This recipe will be a keeper.

If you aren’t gluten and/or dairy free you can simply use your regular flour in place of the gluten free flour and replace the earth balance margarine for real butter and the homemade dairy free buttermilk for real buttermilk. So easy to customize!
