I’ve mentioned before that breakfasts around here during the week aren’t very elaborate. We usually need something that is either quick to prepare or easy to take on the go. So, when I want to make mornings a little more special than a bowl of yogurt and granola, I usually turn to scones.

Scones not only fit the criteria of being easy to take on the go, but they also are easy to make the night before and stay fresh for the next morning. Plus, these snickerdoodle scones taste like cookies. You can’t go wrong with breakfast food that tastes like a dessert!

The insides of these scones are tender and filled with the warm spices of cinnamon and nutmeg. The crackly topping of cinnamon sugar adds more of the snickerdoodle flavor and look to these scones.

A light cinnamon drizzle adds a little more decadence to the scones and your morning! You may be surprised at how easy it is to get out of bed when you have this kind of breakfast waiting for you!
