Low Fat Fruit and Yogurt Scones image

This is a tasty breakfast delight. Each scone only has 3 grams of fat and around 200 calories.I love Scones. I used low fat yogurt instead of the high volume of butter. It makes them so delicious, and nutritious. You won't miss the fat at all. Enjoy!

The scones were a bit crumbly. I think I'll handle them more gently next time.

I made these scones gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend. They turned out just as good as the regular version.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some berries that were about to go bad, and they worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of scones, but these were surprisingly good. They were light and airy, and the fruit added a nice sweetness.

These scones were a delight! The texture was perfect: crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The flavor was also great, with a nice balance of sweetness and tartness from the fruit.
