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!

Enjoy!
[…] To date we’ve harvested about 3 quarts of decent strawberries. (Not counting what the grazers “harvested.”) That’s a FAR cry from the over 25 quarts we pulled from our little patch at our old home a couple years ago! And certainly no where near enough to even contemplate making any jam, let alone baked goods like Strawberry Banana Bread or Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Strawberry Scones. […]
