Blueberry Lemon Oat Scones

Blueberry lemon Scone

Scrumptious Scones! Well, some may think they are either chalky, bland or just plain dense. I do agree that some are not up to par with taste and texture, but, i may get you to change your mind about this recipe i would like to share with you. I must say it is quite delicious! It is quite flavorful with the burst of blueberries popping in your mouth as well as the refreshing taste of  fresh lemon zest. For nutritional purposes, i also added rolled oats and almond milk to the mix. So, hope you come to try it.
