Time 37m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
6 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the dough is crumbly. Fold in the cranberries. Add the buttermilk and stir lightly with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together to form a ball. (The dough will be sticky, but resist the temptation to overwork it.)
  • On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into a large circle about 2 inches thick. Cut the dough into wedges. With a spatula, transfer the wedges to a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake for 22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Best served warm and on the day they are made.

HEALTHY CRANBERRY ORANGE OATMEAL SCONES



Healthy Cranberry Orange Oatmeal Scones image

These scones are moist and tender on the inside with a hint of a crust on the outside, and they're bursting with bright fruit flavors! The sweet orange pairs perfectly with the tangy cranberries, making these scones an irresistible (and surprisingly easy!) breakfast treat. Leftovers will keep for at least five days (if not longer!) if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and they freeze well too!

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup (50g) Bob's Red Mill Organic Quick Cooking Oats (gluten-free if necessary and measured like this)
½ cup (120g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
3 tbsp (45mL) pure maple syrup
3 tbsp (45mL) freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (120g) Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Wheat Pastry Flour or gluten-free* flour (measured like this)
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp (7g) orange zest (about 1 large)
2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
¾ cup (75g) whole fresh cranberries, diced (see Notes!)
2 tsp nonfat milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, orange juice, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in the orange zest. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter (highly recommended!) or the back of a fork until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Make a well in the center. Add in the oat mixture. Stir until just incorporated. Gently fold in the cranberries with a spatula.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, shape the dough into a ¾" tall circle, and brush with the milk. Slice the dough into 8 triangular segments with a sharp knife. (No need to separate them!) Bake at 425°F for 26-29 minutes, or until the tops and sides are a deep golden color. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
