Traditionally a quick bread — usually round or cut into triangles — folks eat scones for breakfast with tea. Sometimes coffee. They tend to have a crumbly texture, taste slightly sweet, and feel like a breeze to whip up in the kitchen.
These paleo raspberry scones don’t stray far from tradition. But dairy free and gluten free, you won’t find milk or wheat flour in this recipe. The secret? Arrowroot and cashews come together to make a drool-worthy scone with a crunchy exterior and a chewy crumb. If you haven’t experienced cashews beyond a handful of trail mix, they blend up beautifully.
For example, this New England Clam Chowder . Diary free and paleo — it’s also extraordinarily thick and creamy. Thanks to cashews.

Yummy! These are a great quick breakfast option. I made them on sunday and had them all week, although they were moldy on friday. I am going to try freezing them next time, but would love to know the recommended way to store this recipe and others.
