Little pieces of chocolate melt in your mouth and blend with the sweet strawberries to make this the perfect spring scone!
My cat, Irma was really drawn to the scones and just couldn’t stop smelling them. She wasn’t interested in eating them so I let her enjoy exploring them. I’m sure you already know, but chocolate is off limits for pets. Oddly enough she actually seemed most interested in the strawberries.
These are pretty healthy scones. I used whole wheat flour, flax seed eggs and even used vanilla vegan yogurt in place of the usual oil. I just used a little stevia since the chocolate chips were sweet.
You certainly could use grain-sweetened chocolate chips if you are avoiding white sugar all together.
