Lemon Poppy Seed Oatmeal Scones
Lemon Poppy Seed Oatmeal Scones
Lemon Poppy Seed Oatmeal Scones are a huge favorite in my house. In fact, anything involving lemon, white chocolate, oatmeal and poppy seeds are all considered game. Made into scones, even better. If you take a peek at our recipe index you’ll no doubt see that here at Turnips 2 Tangerines we do love our scones. Any kind of scones will do, too.
Lemon Scones are Easy and Flexible
One of my favorite things about making scones is the fact that they are not only easy to prepare but scones are so flexible. Combine any combination of ingredients together and you will have a delicious scone. Hence this recipe for scones. I got a hankering for a scone and the only “add in” ingredients were lemon, oatmeal, white chocolate and poppy seeds. The end result became these tasty scones.
Lemon and White Chocolate
Looking for more lemon and white chocolate recipes? Try this Amish Friendship Bread Lemon Poppy Seed Biscotti. This delicious recipe for Candy Cane Fudge is also made with white chocolate chips. Another favorite flavored “chip” we like to use here on T2T is a fresh tasting lemon flavored chip. We found lemon flavored chips at the Bulk Priced Food Shoppe in Greenville WI and made these super delicious cookies, Lemon Chip Sugar Cookies.
