Sugar-Free Blueberry Scones #Switch2Swerve
I announced on Facebook a few weeks ago that I was chosen by Swerve and Bookieboo to be a blog ambassador for Swerve Sweetener. If you haven’t heard of Swerve, and you’re looking for an all natural, zero-calorie, non-GMO, non-glycemic sweetener, look no further! I’ve been using Swerve for a few weeks now and am mostly impressed! It measures cup for cup like sugar and leaves no after taste. I love that’s natural and non-GMO. And, the best news – human tests have shown that Swerve is safe for diabetics! So if you need to avoid sugar, Swerve seems to be a safe sugar substitute for you!
Let’s make these Sugar-Free Blueberry Scones
First, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Then, mix up your dry ingredients. Cut in 1/2 cup cold butter with a pasty blender until the dough resembles little peas, then add the blueberries and milk. Mix until combined.
{Side note: While you’re mixing up dry ingredients, go ahead and make a few extra bowls, then put the mix in the freezer! Next time you want scones, pull the mix out of the freezer, add butter, fruit, and milk, and you’re good to go!}
But, back to the recipe… Turn dough out onto a baking stone and shape into a 9″ circle. Top with a little extra Swerve if you’d like.
Cut the cirlce into 8 pie shapes pieces and separate them so they don’t touch.
Bake for 22-27 minutes, until they look golden brown and crunchy. Enjoy!

check your website on firefox. the measurements for baking soda and salt show up as a questionmark, not a fraction.
