Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place 2 tablespoons blueberries in a microwaveable bowl; heat in the microwave until very soft, about 20 seconds. Stir in the preserves and pomegranate juice; set aside.
- Cream together the butter and sugar in a small bowl using an electric hand mixer. Beat in the egg. Add the milk, almond extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and the blueberry mixture, continuing to beat until combined.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture to the blueberry mixture, continually beating until you have a soft dough. Fold the almonds and 1 cup blueberries into the dough. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lined baking sheets.

BLUEBERRY-ALMOND SCONES
These classic bakery treats couldn't be easier to make at home. Simple swaps take them in new directions, so try Cream Scones with Currants, Chocolate-Coconut Scones, Cherry-Hazelnut Scones, or Lemon-Ginger Scones.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together 3/4 cup cream, egg, and vanilla. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Stir in blueberries and almonds. With a fork, stir in cream mixture until just combined. (The dough should be crumbly; do not overwork.)
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and pat into a 6-inch circle. Cut into 6 wedges and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired. Bake until golden, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.

BLUEBERRY ALMOND DROP SCONES
Blueberry with almond is one of my favorite combos for breakfast bakes. Sneaking some toasted almond flour and citrus zest into these scones really makes their flavor shine. Sometimes I like to make these scones ahead of time, portioning the dough on sheet pans and popping them into the refrigerator until baking them the next morning.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 half sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, almond flour, baking powder, salt and citrus zest until well combined.
- Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the frozen butter into the flour. Use a rubber spatula to toss the butter evenly into the flour, breaking up any large bits. Add the berries and slivered almonds and toss into the flour.
- Whisk together the cream, egg and vanilla in a small bowl, then pour into the flour-butter mixture. Stir and flatten the dough over itself until evenly moistened; some dry spots may remain -- that's OK. The dough will have the consistency of sticky cookie dough.
- Use a scoop or measuring cup to portion out 6 mounded 1/4-cup portions of the dough onto each prepared sheet pan. Flatten the mounds ever so slightly.
- For finishing: Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush onto the scones with a pastry brush. Sprinkle the scones with the finishing sugar.
- Bake until deep golden and slightly springy when touched, 28 to 30 minutes. Rotate the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway during baking. Let cool on the sheet pans until warm then transfer to a serving tray. The scones are best served warm or the day they are baked.

EASY BLUEBERRY ALMOND SCONES
Inspired by Lalalous's recipe #371363, this simple scone recipe is so easy, you can make it in the morning before work! Raspberries work well, too - use almond extract if you're using rapberries! I use frozen berries (the individually frozen kind, not the kind in syrup) for these, and I like my berries, so my scoop of berries is more like a heaping 1/2 cup!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F.
- In a bowl mix together flour, oats, baking powder, sugar and vanilla powder (if using vanilla extract, add with milk). Add oil and stir to combine.
- Fold in blueberries and almonds.
- Add milk (and vanilla extract) and stir to combine. If it is too sticky add more flour, if it is too dry add some more milk.
- Pat out dough on a floured surface and cut or shape scones of desired size. I often shape dough into a large circle, and cut into triangles for a traditional shape.
- Place on a paper-lined baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes until baked through and golden brown.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk the coconut oil (make sure it's cooled to room temperature), maple syrup, egg, and vanilla together.
- To that same bowl, add the almond flour, baking powder and salt and gently fold together with a rubber spatula; last, fold in the blueberries. The dough will be crumbly at first but it will come together!
- Use your hands to gather the dough into a giant ball, then place it on a silpat mat (or parchment paper). Again, use your hands to flatten the ball out into a 7" disc that's about 3/4" thick. Use a knife to cut the disc into 6 scones, separating them slightly.
- Transfer the silpat mat/parchment paper to a baking sheet. Optional step: brush the unbaked scones with 1 tbsp melted butter, then sprinkle with a little cane sugar (skip this step if you want to keep these low sugar). Place the scones in the oven and bake them for 18-22 minutes.
- Remove them from the oven, then wait 5 minutes before carefully removing them and transferring them to a cooling rack. Wait at least 30 minutes before adding the glaze (otherwise, the glaze will melt right off if the scones are too warm). For the glaze: whisk all ingredients together until smooth, then drizzle the glaze overtop of the scones. Enjoy!

Tips:
- For a sweeter scone, increase the amount of sugar in the recipe.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make sure your scones are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, they're done.
- Feel free to experiment with different flavors of scones. For example, you could add chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or nuts. You can also try using different types of berries, such as raspberries or strawberries. Or even sprinkle some lemon zest into the batter for a citrusy kick.
- Store leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
These blueberry almond scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a quick bite on the go. With their sweet and tangy flavor, these scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
