- Make sure to use fresh or frozen blueberries for the best results.
- If you don't have cream or yogurt, you can substitute with milk.
- Instead of butter, use coconut oil. This substitution will add a subtle coconut flavor and give a healthier alternative to the butter.
- Instead of yogurt, use almond milk. This substitution will make the scones dairy-free and provide a nutty flavor.
Lemon Poppyseed Scones Replace the blueberries with 1/2 cup of lemon zest and 1/4 cup of poppyseeds. Replace the cinnamon in the ingredients and topping with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Replace the vanilla extract with 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract.
Honey Lemon Greek Yogurt: This creamy and tangy yogurt dish is a great accompaniment to the sweet and fragrant blueberry scones. The combination of the tart Greek yogurt and the sweetness of the honey and lemon creates a perfect balance that complements the scones perfectly.
Coconut Whipped Cream: This light and fluffy coconut whipped cream is the perfect topping for the blueberry scones. The rich coconut flavor pairs perfectly with the sweet and fragrant blueberries, and the creamy texture adds a delightful contrast to the crunchy scones. Plus, it's dairy-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.
