As you have likely read before, I love anything Lemon Poppy Seed. Cakes, muffins and yes … scones are no exception. Lemon Poppy Seed Scones are the bomb and super easy!

I could crush these all day but they aren’t the healthiest for you so maybe I will stick to just treating myself with them on occasion.
