Make your Mother’s Day brunch unique this year, with these delicious Rosemary Tomato Scones—the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

Made with almond and buckwheat flours, they have that soft and crumbly texture you want in a scone without a blood sugar crash. Fresh rosemary, thyme, and chives add tons of herby flavor while cherry tomatoes provide natural sweetness. Cherry tomatoes also give these scones plenty of carotenoid antioxidants, phytosterols, polyphenols, and flavonoids, as well as vitamin A.

Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs and is especially interesting in baked goods like these scones. It’s a powerhouse herb for longevity, with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support, memory and cognitive benefits, and the ability to uplift mood. Your mom is going to love these.
