+ This Pineapple Coconut Scones Recipe brought to you by the folks at Crisco +

I adore scones. I mean really, what’s not to like? It’s like a sweet biscuit with a bit of a crunchy exterior and soft, fluffy interior. It’s a sweet addition to any breakfast or brunch. Not to mention that scones can be a blank canvas for all kinds of flavor profiles.

I’ve had blueberry, chocolate, raspberry, strawberry, cinnamon sugar scones in my life and I’m sure there are many more variations out there. After my recent trip to Hawaii, I thought a pineapple coconut scone would be LOVELY!

After doing a little playing around, I thought I would also make my pineapple coconut scones dairy-free.

WHAT’S that you say… You can’t even image your scones without their creamy buttery base? I’m telling you it’s possible. Not only possible, but scrumptious! The secret, I use Crisco Organic Coconut Oil instead of butter and rich Coconut Milk instead of cream. Crisco Organic Coconut Oil is PERFECT for this application, because it stays firmer than most coconut oils which is a must when baking goodies such as scones. I also love that it is certified organic and non-GMO. Crisco Organic Coconut Oil is an easy substitute in recipes calling for butter, margarine, and other oils, making it a go-to pantry staple. It has no coconut aroma or flavor, offering maximum cooking versatility without changing the taste of your food. Plus, I love that it is a better fat for your body than traditional animal fats.

It truly couldn’t be any easier. The other secret is using Self-Rising Flour.

I found those fun dried young pineapple that looks like flowers at Trader Joe’s. I thought they really added to the presentationand taste of the overall scone, but they aren’t a deal breaker by any means if you can’t find them.
