morning glory scones
Well, you guys, not going to lie — it has been a WEEK.
It started with a gigantimous to-do list on Monday after a few rough nights of sleep, followed by server issues on my blog (yay for tech problems I don’t understand! and for sarcasm!) and a few other hiccups in my days. But then it ended with these Morning Glory scones, so I’d say all is well and forgiven, Horrible Week. Now let’s eat scones and forget about each other.
In case you don’t know what “Morning Glory” implies, it usually has to do with the magical medley of the following ingredients: carrots, apples, raisins, shredded coconut, chopped nuts and spices. Sometimes I see pineapple thrown in there, too, and I’m totally down with that.
These scones don’t have the pineapple, but they do have all of the other ingredients and all of the tastiness plus a spiced glaze (and whole wheat flour), so you know it’s good. And I wrote about all of it over on my friend Julia’s blog, A Cedar Spoon, today. So head on over there for the recipe and get ready to feel a sudden urge to bake. They have that effect on people (read: Me).
TGIF, friends! We all deserve the weekend.
These look so adorable! I’m sure they’re delicious.
These scones are perfection and I love the name and beautiful flavors!
Tech problems are the WORST. Hang in there!
These muffins look delicious! Headed to check them out!
I’d almost say that going through a rough week is worth it if this is the pay off! These look so good!
Awesomeness in a scone form!
Morning Glory. What a perfect, perfect name for this bright, wholesome combo. YAY for Friday and congrats on making it to the end of the week. Here’s looking up 🙂

Morning glory muffins are yum, and I’m sure scone-form is quite a dream as well! And look how tall and chubby they are. I’m in love!
These look delicious!
I always feel the need to emotionally bake/eat when having any server problems. But I’m glad to hear that all is fixed! And that you got these scones out of the ordeal….YUM.

Love, love, love these scones. Never heard of this flavor combination until now (I know!), so thanks for enlightening me :). Can’t wait to make these!
I just made a double batch of these, thinking they would be a quick weekday breakfast for my family. My teenagers and their friends ate them ALL before they even had a chance to cool!! They were easy and delicious – I’ll definitely be making them again.
These definitely look like they will solve a bad week! I love morning glory muffins, so I can’t wait to try this scone recipe!
These look fantastic – quite a myriad of flavors! I haven’t had much luck with using whole wheat flour in scones, but these sound promising. Thanks for the recipe!
