Who doesn’t like a warm, fluffy scone straight from the oven?! These beauties are made from millet flakes, a close relative of the oat and a grain that is just as good at protecting our hearts due to its mega Magnesium content, which also lends a hand in warding off Type II Diabetes. Millet is also a fabulous source of Phosphorous which acts as the building block for our cells to produce energy, B vitamins to keep us in tip top condition and fibre which is shown to decrease our risk of a number of cancers by helping us to get rid of excess hormones.

From a foodie perspective millet also has a wonderful creaminess which lends itself beautifully to these scones, giving them a light but decadent feel. The gentle zing of the fresh tarragon running through adds an extra burst of flavour without overpowering the natural sweet crumbliness of the coconut flour. All in all a truly delightful addition to any afternoon tea, breakfast or snack!
