Fresh Blueberry Scones
What. a. week! Welcome back, Friday!
Man! I feel like ah … bear waking up from hibernation(?)
Being stuck at home for several days definitely has its ups – sleeping-in because the entire State is shut down, chillin’ in your PJs until noon, catching up on your favorite shows, etc… But, of course with those ups come the downs. Or, in fact, it was just one down – boredom. And with that boredom, the inevitable happens – eating everything in sight because I am bored.
I chose not to be bored, and not to eat because I was bored. Instead, I baked and baked and baked… and made the others eat! I made double chocolate pancakes, blueberry scones, soda bread, pasta from scratch, and bacon-wrapped everything. I hope I get that wife and mom of the year award…
Look at the Hubs! HA!
Blueberry Scones
These are the best blueberry scones I’ve ever made! Creamy and moist, each bite is packed with juicy blueberries and sweet cream cheese icing. These scones are baked to perfection and are a delicious treat that needs to be added to your brunch or breakfast menu.
And, you know what? NO butter in this recipe. I kept those calories for the nice helping of heavy whipping cream and the cream cheese for the frosting. You’re welcome…? 🤷♀️
The Blueberry Cream Cheese Frosting Is Delicious On Everything
While we were stuck inside, listening to each other’s thoughts, we were also dipping these amazing scones in an awesome blueberry cream cheese frosting. This stuff is da bomb! I mean, it’s so simple and sweet, you’ll want to dig in with a spoon. We did. Of course.
You know what else is great about this recipe? It’s a weekend recipe. It’s a Saturday & Sunday morning recipe. Think about it, who doesn’t want to wake up to homemade scones on the weekend? Exactly.
After inhaling the scones, I found myself making another batch of the frosting… I also hid it from the rest of the fam. I kinda ate it, all by myself. Thank the Lord that the scale and I are not on speaking terms. Because, winter.
You don’t have to believe me, BUT you should – once you get a taste of these scones, you will jump for joy when it’s time to make breakfast on the weekends!
ENJOY!

Blueberry Scones
Ingredients
Blueberry Scones
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups blueberries
- ¼ cup turbinado sugar, (raw sugar)
Egg-Wash
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Blueberry Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup fresh blueberries, chopped
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 425˚F. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease with baking spray; set aside.
- Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Stir in sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, cream, and vanilla; mix until thoroughly combined.
- Combine. Stir the cream mixture into the flour mixture and mix only until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the blueberries.
- Shape the dough. Flour your work area and turn out the dough. Sprinkle dough with more flour, and divide the dough into 3 portions. Pat down each portion of dough to about a 6-inch round.
- Cut the scones. Place the rounds on your previously prepared baking sheet. Cut each round of dough into quarters.
- Brush with an egg wash. In a small bowl, combine 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water; whisk until combined. Brush each scone with egg wash.
- Bake. Sprinkle the tops of the scones with turbinado sugar. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Enjoy! Serve the scones warm topped with blueberry cream cheese (see below).

Hi! Just made these, and they taste great however, they are a bit undercooked in the middle. Was I supposed to separate the scones after I cute them into quarters? I just cut them into quarters but left them in the circle. I’m assuming that was my problem as they were still touching while they were baking! Will try again some other time and possible just cut them into rounds with a biscuit cutter! Thanks for the recipe.
