Cranberry Walnut Honey Scones

Jump to recipeLooking for a quick scone recipe for those busy morning? Then look no further! These delicious cranberry walnut honey scones are currently our go-to breakfast on our rushed mornings. They are also perfect for those cold days with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa. They warm the heart and the tummy.
As it was pouring rain and freezing one day, I began to crave a hot fluffy scone. Not a plain scone, but something with texture. So I started to think of what I had in our cabinet. We have cranberries. We have walnuts. And we have honey.
Perfect!
Just a little bit here and a little bit there. I don’t want to roll them out, I want each one to be unique by the spoonful.
When I took them out of the oven, they were so warm and doughy, I couldn’t help but split one with my husband while they were still piping hot. I love a puffy scone but I wasn’t sure how my husband would feel about them. My husband is very straight forward and I really wanted him to give me his most honest opinion. If he isn’t fond of them, then I need to get right back in that kitchen! But to my surprise, he said they were really good!
He loves that they aren’t too sweet. He loves the texture of the cranberries and walnuts. He loves them! When I was packing our lunches for the next day, he got a baggie and filled it with the scones.
These scones were easy to make and incredibly tasty!
