Peaches and Cream Scones are healthy, simple to make and delicious. Light, crispy and touched with the sweetness from my favorite summer fruit!
Peach season is one of my favorites and I am very excited to share this recipe with you. The farmer's markets have been inundated with delicious, ripe peaches and I am all for it.
There's something about peaches that just scream summertime. Especially growing up. I loved biting into a semi-soft, sweet, juicy peach sitting on the beach in Cape Cod.
I add peaches to my yogurt, salads and oatmeal, why not my scones?
If you are looking for some more yummy scone recipes, you will love these Low Carb Blueberry Scones, Lemon Berry Scones, Gluten Free Strawberry Pomegranate Scones and definitely these Pumpkin Spice Scones!
These peaches and cream scones would be extra delicious with some Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate or even some Spiked Apple Cider!
Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!
Why You Should Make These Peaches and Cream Scones
These are so simple to make and will be ready in 30 minutes. The beauty of scones is that they look very impressive and fancy but really require very little time to make.
These scones come together with just 8 ingredients, mainly with ones that you already have in your house.
I used whole wheat flour and less butter than typical scones, lightened up but they still taste delicious. This is one of those examples of a lightened up recipe that tastes just as yummy as the classic ones.
Feel free to freeze these scones in an airtight container if you want to save some for busy mornings. They taste just as fabulous once defrosted.

- Add peaches and gently stir.
- Gently mix in milk and yogurt. Eventually you’ll need to use your hands to knead the last of the flour into the dough. Since we used less butter in this recipe, you really have to work with your hands to make sure all the ingredients are mixed.
- Form dough into a circle about that’s about an inch deep all around. Cut the circle into 8 slices.
- Separate slices and place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper or foil.
- Sprinkle the tops of the scones with a bit of raw sugar.

It's peach season and I was looking for something that is'nt a pie! I mean, we love pie here.. but I wanted something else to use these fresh peaches. I used 1 1/2 cups of fresh diced peaches (because I love the fruit) and it turned out perfectly. What a great breakfast or snack that's totally in season. Love your suggestion to use dried peaches too. I'll try this agian in the winter with our home-dehydrated peaches. Thanks!

I honestly can't believe that summertime is almost over! I've loved the carefree days and extra time with my boys, but am looking forward to having more of a schedule again. These scones would be the perfect way to start my boys' school mornings.

Peaches are one of my favoreite fruits too! I love using them and eating them as much as I can in the summer! I'm kind of on the fence about summer and fall. I'm ready for pumpkins and Fall but I'm not ready to give up summer and peaches!

I'm seriously torn. On one hand, this has been a great summer, and I could definitely enjoy it and my loosey-goosey schedule for a little while longer...but yeah, on the other hand, I feel the need for a little organization again. Either way, I WANT a couple of these scones to start my day - yum!
