Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe is great because it is really fast to put together. you can get all the ingredients mixed and ready for the oven in about 10 minutes. This is one of those recipes that I keep handy for when I have a last minute gluten free guest coming over.
This recipe is also nice because of the size of the scone. They just mini! This is because they are quite sweet compared to other scones. They are the perfect size for a small sweet treat to go with your tea or coffee.
I also really like how these scones have a pink tint to them from the strawberries. You can also add freeze dried strawberry powder if you want them to be even more pink for a special occasion. The color is just so pretty and fun!
Benefits of Adding Strawberries to Your Baking
Strawberries are amazing! These little berries are super charged with nutrients and a vibrant flavor.
Strawberries add natural sweetness and moisture to your baking. This is particularly important when it comes to gluten free baking- which tends to be quite dry.
They are full of antioxidants and Vitamin C to combat oxidative stress on your system.
Strawberries also add fiber to your baking which is good for your heart and your gut!
