Specially this crazy year that must remain safe and sound right at home baking as a stress reliever and spending time with people you love is always a great idea and on this occasion I'm bringing to you these cheerful scones.

In this recipe I decided to top it with some pomegranate seeds to give it a christmasy color and with a drizzle of a combination of whey protein with almond milk... you know, to make it look prettier!
