Looking for healthier scones? Make these Vegan Glazed Oatmeal Chai Pumpkin Scones! They taste like fall, but without the gluten and refined sugar!
I feel that it’s appropriate to assume people are more productive working at a coffee shop than at home. Literally every time I walk into Starbucks (or any coffee shop) there are no seats available because everyone is busy on their laptops either working or studying.
There is just something about getting work done with a coffee and pastry by your side. It makes working/studying so much easier and more joyful. Whose with me on this one? When ever I have the time, I go to Starbucks to do things on the blog that I hate doing, because God knows I won’t do it when I’m home. So how does this tie into today’s recipe? Scones.
Coffee shops have scones and scones are delicious. But scones are high calorie, have virtually no nutrients, and do nada for your body. Buttt they accompany coffee/tea really well. Hot caffeinated beverages + scones = soul mates.
Of course I would love to order a scone at a coffee shop, but that would be bad-news-bears because gluten and sugar💩💩💩
Thank God I’m a blogger and I sometimes know how to bake, so my God-given talent saved me on this one. I’ve done oatmeal scones before and based this recipe off of them. Also had to make a pumpkin version because everyone loves pumpkin! I also chai spices to it, Mmmmmmm!
But wait, there’s more. A pumpkin chai glaze is drizzled on top of the scones, because glazes make everything better. 👈Proven fact💁. So not only do you get tasty scones that you and your coffee have been longing for, but you also get some good nutrients, fiber and homemade goodness.
