When it comes to pairing tea with baked goods, you can never go wrong with a freshly baked scone. Aside from the taste, I really love that scones come in a variety of different flavours. I’m a fan of the classic buttermilk scones, but appreciate a scone packed with flavour, too! They can be sweet, fruity or even savoury. I usually stick to making my easy cranberry scones with icing, but have been in love with some unique scone recipes from fellow bloggers lately. If you’re looking for the perfect chocolate scone, strawberry rhubarb oatmeal scone, cheddar scallion scone and many more, look no further than the scone recipes listed below. These will definitely jazz up your afternoon tea!

Salted Caramel Apple Scones by Shiran from Pretty Simple Sweet
The images from this recipe had me almost drooling! Growing up, I snacked on apples dipped in caramel sauce often and these scones brought back those memories. They are perfect anytime, but I favour them during the autumn season where fresh local apples can be picked and then baked.

Lavender & Earl Grey Scones by Haley from Flour Covered Apron
If you usually enjoy a scone with a cup of tea, why not infuse the baked good with the beverage, too. Tea leaves are added right into the scone mixture, and the tea is also used to make a lovely lavender earl grey glaze which equals a downright mouthwatering scone!
Glazed Strawberry Rhubarb Oatmeal Scones (Vegan + Gluten Free) by Bethany from Athletic Avocado
For those that follow a vegan and/or gluten free lifestyle, these strawberry rhubarb oatmeal scones do not disappoint. I love every fresh fruit bite in these scones. The fact that these scrumptious scones are made with oatmeal make it okay to devour them for breakfast too, right?!
The Flakiest Apricot & Raspberry Scones by Claudia from The Brick Kitchen
Here’s a scone with a texture different than most! As this recipe states, these irresistible tea time treats are a cross between scones and croissants. When prepping them, this recipes uses a folding technique that gives it those delicious layers similar to other flaky pastries.
Chocolate Scones by Sam from Sugar Spun Run
You can’t go wrong with a chocolate scone! These are basically triple chocolate scones as the dough is made with cocoa powder, rich chocolate chips are folded in and drizzled on top is a chocolate glaze. Every chocolate lover needs to try these!
Funfetti Scones by Kate from Wood and Spoon
Just looking at these scones make me so happy! The funfetti instantly reminds me of childhood memories, and you can’t help but smile while eating these colourful scones. I am an adult and absolutely adore these but I think they would be perfect for a kid’s tea party, too.
Whole Grain Berry Scones with Spelt and Rye by Allison from Yummy Beet
I don’t think I’ve had scones made with spelt and rye before these scrumptious ones. I personally call these scones fruit explosion because they are loaded with berries that release their juices while baking. This makes them melt in your mouth good!
Cheddar Scallion Scones by Beth from Budget Bytes
If you’re looking for scones that are more savoury than sweet, you need to get the ingredients for these cheddar and scallion ones and make them as soon as possible! I still like to enjoy savoury scones like these ones with a cup of tea, but also find them delicious to go with a teacup full of soup.
Blood Orange Poppy Seed Scones by Adrianna from A Cozy Kitchen
I’m a fan of lemon poppy seed scones (or any other baked good, really) so I was intrigued by this recipe that replaces the lemons for blood oranges. They’re crispy on the outside, while being perfectly soft on the inside. Also, isn’t that colour fabulous?!
Pumpkin Pecan Scones with Maple Glaze by Kate from Cookie and Kate
This is another scone recipe that you might think is best for autumn, but I assure you they are delightful year round! Pumpkin pecan is a classic flavour combination which makes it perfect to jazz up a classic scone. I think what really amps up this scone recipe is the maple glaze. Definitely don’t miss out on dipping your scones in it!
