Honey Raspberry Ricotta Scones

Soft and fluffy raspberry ricotta scones drizzled in honey glaze. These honey raspberry ricotta scones take quick breads to another level.

There was a time when I thought the maple scones at Starbucks were the BEST ever. I loved them so much that I sought to create a homemade version so I could enjoy them whenever I wanted.

While these maple oat pecan scones still rank high on my list, it’s got some new competition.

These honey raspberry ricotta scones are something else.

These are nothing like the usual crumbly dry scones you find at most coffee shops. These are moist, soft, and fluffy. They’re pillow-like, rich, and creamy.

Thanks to the addition of ricotta, they’re ridiculously delicious.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try you hand making this homemade ricotta. The recipe includes step-by-step photos.  

The recipe is perfectly customizable. You can use whatever fruits you’d like.

Perhaps juicy peaches in the summer or sweet persimmons in the fall. The honey glaze can also be swapped with maple during the cooler months. YUM.

Once you’ve found your favorite scone recipe, you’ll never have to go back to store-bought again. Scones, like other quick breads, are a breeze to make.

With few ingredients, you can have a fresh batch of these out of the oven in less than one hour!
