Just in time for Valentine’s Day – these Dairy-Free Chocolate Cherry Scones are the perfect way to start your day!
I don’t know about you guys, but I have always loved Valentine’s Day. I know it can get a bad wrap for being too “commercial,” and I get it, I suppose in some ways it has. But when it comes down to it, it is a day about celebrating love – and I think we could only use more of that. How I show my love is through cooking. It doesn’t have to be an extravagant meal. Baking a simple loaf of homemade bread can tell someone so much more than buying them something that costs so much more. Or making these dairy-free scones for someone who is allergic to dairy or lactose intolerant. Such a simple gesture can so such a long way.
I have always shown my love through cooking, and this Valentine’s Day I highly encourage you to do the same!
As with so many things, scones are something I normally swear clear of with my allergy, but I was so excited to make these in partnership with Zevia! I experimented and used this Black Cherry pop (sweetened only with Stevia) to sweeten these delicious, flaky scones and they turned out amazing! So excited to share this recipe with you guys! I hope you have an absolutely lovely Valentine’s Day!
