While visiting my grandparents in Arizona right before the holidays, I started feeling a slight tickle in my throat. I assumed it was a result of the arid desert climate (the extreme dryness even made my clothes and hair constantly full of static and cling to me at all times!), and I completely dismissed the feeling, concentrating on drinking extra water instead.
A few days later, I flew to Northern California to spend Christmas at my parents’ house, yet when I boarded the plane back to Southern California, I still noticed that tickle in my throat… And when I felt exhausted as I settled back into my seat just before takeoff, I realized I had actually caught a cold. Oops.
When I arrived back at my own house that night, I found a single dose of cold medicine in my bathroom cabinet, swallowed it, unpacked my suitcase, and crawled into bed. When I woke up over 10 hours later, I headed to the store for more medicine—and lots of Kleenex!
Before paying, I also grabbed some vitamin supplements. Although I take a multivitamin every day, I figured a little extra boost of vitamin C would be helpful!
As I dissolved the supplement in water back at my house and sipped that orange-flavored beverage, I realized how infrequently I bake with oranges. Sure, I always look forward to creating new cranberry orange flavored recipes during the fall, but I often forget about baking with them the rest of the year, even though I eat oranges year round!
So once I felt healthy again, I worked on perfecting this new Healthy Orange Poppy Seed Scones recipe to share with you! These scones are supremely moist on the inside with a slight hint of a crust on the outside, and they have plenty of bright sunshiny orange flavor. Such a fun twist on the classic lemon poppy seed pairing!
Even better? These healthy orange poppy seed scones contain no eggs, refined flour or sugar! Plus they require just one bowl and 30 minutes to make, and they’re just 139 calories!
