Diabetic Cinnamon Bun Scones image

I love cinnamon. When I started my diabetic diet, they told me that cinnamon actually helps the insulin work and promotes health in a diabetic. SO, with that in mind, I started using tons of it. I LOVE it, so that wasn't a problem for me. I use it on lots of food, sweets and savories. This recipe is one of my favorites. I usually cut it in half for myself, but if you're preparing them for a party or a family, you'll want to make the whole batch.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out really dense. They were still tasty, but not what I was hoping for.

These scones were easy to make and turned out great! I used a sugar-free glaze and they were still plenty sweet.
