While I like sweet snacks and desserts as much as the next ninja, I generally prefer my baked goods to be a little less on the sweet side.
Which is why I'll choose a scone over a cupcake any day.
(True story: My sister used to love sitting next to me at family birthday celebrations when we were young because I didn't like to eat the frosting. I would eat the cake part of my piece and give the frosting to her -- that's how much I prefer my sweets less sweet!)
And any time I can sweeten a sweet more naturally than simply using refined sugar, I'm all over it.
As their name implies, these maple date scones are sweetened with pure maple syrup, chewy dates and almost no added sugar.
