When spring comes around I like to start using berries because they are one of the first signs of spring.  I know that you can get them year round but they actually start coming in to season in the spring where I live.  There’s nothing like going strawberry or blueberry picking in May to make it really feel like spring.

I’ve been trying to find new things to make for breakfast because in all honesty I’m sick of toast and oatmeal right now.  I want something bright and tasty yet filling.  I have to admit I’m partial to bread like products for breakfast because they just seem to go easier on my stomach.  This week I decided to make scones.

Since I’ve been in a berry mood I picked up some blueberries and strawberries at my local market.   I’ve made blueberry scones before so I wanted to add in something a little different.  I decided on chia seeds because they are filled with fiber and antioxidants.

I baked up a batch of these Berry Chia Scones and they smelled delicious.   I pulled them out of the oven as they started turning golden brown.  Some people like hard scones but I really like them when they are crisp on the outside but soft and buttery on the inside.  These scones were just like that.  The blueberries really popped in my mouth and the rich butter flavor came through.  I like that scones are sweet but not too sweet which makes them a great choice for breakfast.

I wanted to add a bit of brightness to the scones so I opted for a lemon glaze.  This comes from fresh lemon juice. I added it to some powdered sugar and drizzled it on top of the scones.

My husband, who is not a fan of scones, totally gobbled these up. He told me they were probably the best scones he has ever had which is high praise coming from him.  I had to agree that I really enjoyed the pairing of blueberries, strawberries, and lemon together in this tasty breakfast bread.
