Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip & Strawberry Scones

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Strawberry Scones is our new favorite breakfast. I believe I’ve mentioned it a time or two already, haven’t I?

I like it that much.

I like it because it’s only lightly sweetened and yet the chocolate chips provide enough satisfaction to the children’s sweet tooth’s that they aren’t begging for donuts or something equally deliciously naughty.

Plus, I’m usually at a loss as to how to use up frozen strawberries from last year’s harvest and how lovely it has been to open that bag of sliced berries, breaking the frozen pieces apart, and breathing in the fresh aroma of summertime on a frosty March morning.

Should you choose to try these biscuits yourself, my only caveat is that you must, MUST not consider the butter and cream optional. Oh my! The whole combination is simply delectable and oh so satisfying!
