Hello everyone and happy Sunday! The weekends always remind of breakfast, and today I wanted to make some blueberry scones. Problem was, I looked into my fridge in horror as I realized I was out of eggs! However, I was not about to let that stop me from enjoying some freshly baked scones! So what did I do? I made them without! Don’t get me wrong, I had to replace the egg somehow . I decided the best fit for this recipe would be a chia egg, made from chia seeds and water. I have egg substitutions on all my recipes, and this was an example of when I really use them! The chia seeds thicken up and add the egg factor that is needed. These aren’t completely vegan, but (as always) I have the full substitutions for that down below. If you or someone you know is allergic to eggs, give these scones a try! (And honestly I’d make these again even when I have eggs). Enjoy!
