It’s brunch season!
Because Easter and Mother’s Day are approaching, I figured it is high time we whip up a highly brunchable lemon poppy seed scone that is both paleo and vegan. When entertaining others, you’re bound to end up with a guest or twelve who eats dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free or some combination thereof.

They are so nice and zesty in all their lemon poppy seed glory – a perfect brunch recipe for sharing with friends and family. I made them for friends I was visiting and they went absolutely berserk over them!

If you’re a seasoned veteran of The Roasted Root, you know I have a mega weakness for brownies, but am also careful with my sugar intake. For this reason, I have been known to develop sugar-free (keto-friendly) recipes that are designed to not raise blood sugar. Just take a looksy at my Low-Carb Peanut Butter Fudge, Keto Edible Cookie Dough, or Keto Coffee Ice Cream for example.
WELL, I finally made it my mission to make a low-carb brownie recipe that is melt-in-your-mouth delicious and also friendly to my blood sugar. I have included all sorts of adaptations to fit your dietary restrictions – have a look in my Recipe Adaptations section below for a vegan option and more!

They’d straight up tell on me.
In all honesty, I shy away from using the terminology, “The Best,” but you guys…this really is THE BEST VEGAN EGGNOG TO EVER WALK THE LAND <- All caps for emphasis.

This ‘nog was made for you and me.
