A few swaps make these healthy blueberry scones extra flaky and healthier.

Healthy blueberry scones! So flaky and full of flavor, you will never know that these are better for you
Thank you Truvia for inspiring today’s recipe!  All opinions, like always, are my own. 

Yall.  I did it.  I made it through no-spend January and I’m still alive.  I know that sounds slightly dramatic, but I’m a big time shopper.  I love going out and finding good deals.  I seriously get some sort of contact high from the clearance section at stores.  My aunt asked my mom one time “Does Kelley live at Target?”  I was only slightly offended. 

Healthified bluebery scone recipe! A few simple swaps make these super flaky blueberry scones better for you then before!

I never spent a ton of money when I shop, but it was like 30 bucks here, 25 bucks there.  Those little purchases start to add up over the course of a month.  So I decided to test myself and save our bank account this past month and not buy anything for myself or the kids.  Groceries, gas, bills and other essentials did not count as spending in No-spend January. 

I’m just going to start by saying I like to eat.  And I find comfort in food.  And when I have a rough day, I want something sweet to tell me “It’s ok.  I’m here for you.”  Sad?  Yes.  True?  Absolutely.  So, I went to Starbucks twice this past month.

One time the stray dog and my dumb little black dog got into a big fight.  Like I spent 5 minutes trying to figure a way to pull them apart without getting bitten.  I was scared and covered in mud.  I took a shower to clean up and I was shaking the whole time.  That mess is no fun.  Dog fights are no fun.  Having a stray dog in your backyard because you don’t know what else to do with it but don’t want to call the pound is no fun. 

So I showered, said forget you no-spend January and drove to Starbucks.  I ordered a giant dirty iced chai latte and a chocolate chip cookie.  Oh and the other time I went was to reward the kids for having a great first week of school.  They got birthday cake pops and I got a drink.  Sorry, not sorry about that one either.

And.. I may have spent the rest of my Target gift card too.  But gift cards don’t count, right?  [I know you’re agreeing with me.  Thanks friend.]  Both kids love going to Target; they call it the popcorn store because we always stop and get popcorn from the cafe.  But since it was no-spend January, there was no popcorn that day.  I’m sure they will be able to forgive me one day. 

I’m happy with how this little life experiment turned out.  I didn’t totally blow no-spend January out of the water but it went pretty well.  I may try it again another month.  Not February though.  Ryley’s 5th birthday is this month and I’m sure there will be many trips to Target and Toys R Us in our near future.

      It’s so funny that your kids call Target, the “popcorn store” because mine did the same when they were small. Every trip to Target meant popcorn and an icee for the kids and a peaceful shopping trip for me! These scones look seriously fantastic, I really need this recipe because I’m craving blueberry scones now!

      These scones look fantastic! I wish I had one (or two) to eat this morning. Congratulations on making it through no-spend January (I agree, gift cards do not count!) I need to do something like that. Those tiny purchases totally add up.

        No! Grocery stores don’t count! Well, they didn’t for me. haha! I might have had a few splurges there last month. Just little ones. lol

      Congratulations on your no spending. Starbucks doesn’t count as spending in my book. It is for the sanctity of myself and other moms alike 🙂 My hubby put us on lock down this month. Last month, my daughter turned 21 so there was no lock down happening then. Congratulations again!!

        Thanks Tanya! It’s was hard! I honestly can’t believe I made it the whole month. Well, minus the two Starbucks runs. lol

      Kelley, congrats! I have been wanting to try a no spend month so it’s nice to see someone who has succeeded 🙂 Also, these scones look out of this world good. Blueberries make me want summer to get here FAST 🙂

        Right?! I think that when I’m shivering but then I realize I don’t like 90+ degree days so I’m ok with summer weather holding off. Summer fruit and veggies can get here quick though! haha. Thanks Amy 🙂

      First of all, gift cards absolutely do not count! Great job of no spending January. Second, I would use all of this Truvia in my coffee. Okay, I might bake with some, too 🙂

      I love Panera blueberry scones but would love to make a healthy version. I love most things Coconut but not Coconut oil. Any suggestions for substitution?

        Hey Melody! You could try butter instead of coconut oil. Or if it’s the taste of coconut you dislike – refined coconut oil doesn’t have the coconut-y taste. So that’s an option as well. Hope that helps!
