Lemon Coconut Scones with Lemon Glaze are a healthier scone that tastes amazing!
Lemon Coconut Scones with Lemon Glaze are just perfect for spring! They’re simple to make and will go along perfectly with any weekend brunch menu. They have a rich, lovely lemon flavor because they’re made with Mother E Lemon Essential Oil. I love to cook with essential oils for so many reason but mostly because the flavor is so rich and full bodied.
Lemon Coconut Scones with Lemon Glaze have a flaky and moist crumb plus the Lemon Glaze is the perfect addition to the toasted coconut flavor of the scones.
You’ll just love them so much!!
Do you love essential oils? I’ve loved and used essential oils for nearly 20 years now but I’m totally loving the Mother E brand of essential oils. They have blends that are unique, smell amazing, therapeutic, and are like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Another super cool thing is Mother E is that they are NOT an MLM. . . everyone can order and at a great price too! Plus, they have a program called Earth Perks– which lets you earn points and get free product and cool stuff! Be sure to jump over and check it out 🙂
Lemon Coconut Scones with Lemon Glaze are a lovely combination of flavors that’s perfect to make this weekend.
Have a beautiful Wednesday!
Much Love and Peace~
