These Jalapeño Bacon Scones are a savory favorite! They’re not sweet at all! I’ve had some savory scones with ham or bacon that are sweet and they’re not my favorite. So when I was coming up with recipe I was definitely leaving the sugar out! If you like spicy you could use more jalapeños or a hotter pepper! I used all the seeds from the jalapeños and it wasn’t spicy.
As all my recipes, these are gluten and dairy free! For my go to gluten free flour blend please click here. I used my favorite vegan butter for these scones! I highly recommend Miyoko’s Creamery cultured vegan butter! It’s tangy and so good!!!! I have a hard time stopping myself from finding things to eat with it! I also used my favorite vegan cheese, Violife! It’s the best one i’ve personally tried yet!
These are not a dry crumbly scone. They’re a flakey moist scone, in my opinion the best kind!
