I am a sucker for scones. I just love them! They are great for breakfast, snacks or even dessert. I even serve them with soup quite often.

With zucchini abounding I decided to make zucchini scones.

My daughter does not always share my love of scones.  So she was not too excited when I told her what I was making.

With that in mind I changed my scone idea slightly and made chocolate zucchini scones. Everyone was very happy!

These scones are gluten, dairy, egg and nut free. They stay soft and moist. My daughter devoured hers. My son actually calls them brownies.  That’s how good they are.

If you have some extra zucchini try using it for scones. You’ll have a wonderful breakfast treat that is also filled with vegetables.

Chocolate zucchini scones freeze well. So make a big batch. Eat some now and save some for later.

Do you love scones? Even if you don’t you’ll love these.
