Categories     Scones

Time 35m

Yield 12 scones, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter (have used Vegan margarine with good results)
1 1/4 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose white flour
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup sugar (may sub Splenda)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins (I have subbed these out with dates and dried cranberries in the past)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt (may use soy with good results)
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425°F Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat and cook until it begins to turn light brown, about 2 minutes. Skim foam and pour into a small bowl.
  • Stir together oats, flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in raisins and make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Combine the browned butter, egg, yogurt and oil in a small bowl; add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead several times to form a ball. Pat the ball into an 8-inch circle and cut into 8 or 12 wedges (depending on the size you want).
  • Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet and bake until lightly browned and firm to the touch, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly. Serve warm.

Overall, I thought these scones were pretty good. They were a bit dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.

These scones were a hit at my last brunch party. Everyone loved them, even the people who don't usually like scones. I'll definitely be making them again soon.

I've tried many different oat scone recipes, but this one is by far the best. The scones are always light and fluffy, with a perfect crumb. I love that they're not too sweet, and the flavor of the oats really shines through.

These scones were absolutely delicious! The texture was perfect - light and flaky on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. The flavor was also spot-on, subtly sweet with a hint of saltiness. I will definitely be making these again!
