I kid you not, this is a 5 minutes scones recipe. Add 20 minutes for baking and you have fresh, soft and fluffy scones just in time for your morning coffee.
Let’s face it. We want to have it all. All the love, all the health, all the success and all the credit. And dam it if we don’t deserve it! We also want some home made, fresh and comforting baked love we can enjoy when ever we desire.
Unfortunately the one thing we are all lucking is time, but fortunately the one thing we have mastered is making the most of it.
So for all of you boss ladies who apply make up, answer emails and schedule doc appointments while waiting for the red light to change, this one is for you.
This recipe requires simple ingredients, a bowl and a spoon. Bake it while you put on your Super Hero cape and enjoy it with your coffee. AND YES! TAKE ALL THE CREDIT!
Now Lets Talk About This 5 Minutes Scones:
- The recipe calls for Almond and lemon extract, but you can choose you flavors.
- Do not over mix the scones are crispy and soft, over mixing/kneading the dough will make the dough chewy.
- Before slicing the disks into scones, spray the knife/bread scraper with some oil spray to avoid the dough from sticking to the knife.
- Go crazy and add some chocolate chips/ blueberries (or any berries) for some extra flavor and texture. (2/3 cup)
- You can substitute the cream with milk but please keep in mind that the high fat content in the cream contributes to the soft texture of the scones.
HAPPY BAKING!!!

I just tried this recipe and it turned out amazingly well! They are so light and fluffy that you don’t even miss nor need the butter. I made 8 of the almond scones and they are nearly gone already! Thank you for a wonderful, easy and quick recipe.
Thank you so much Sara! Such a great way to start the day!
So glad you enjoyed the scones.
Do you have the nutritional values for these delicious scones?
I am afraid not at this point!
Can I substitute canned Coconut milk to make them non Dairy?
Yes absolutely.
Hi from the UK, what is the equivalent for heavy cream? Was thinking double cream? X
yes, double cream it is.
Hi Dee, I made these and they turned out delicious! Thank you for the recipe! If to add berries, at what stage this happens, before kneading?
Hi Aj,
You can add the berries at any stage. If you don’t want them to lose their shape than then add half was through the mixing.
Amazing! Was surprised to see no butter but followed the recipe exactly & only added a few chocolate chips and they turned out so great! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us
Thank you Laura; so glad you liked it.
