(RELATIVELY) HEALTHY OATMEAL SCONES



(Relatively) Healthy Oatmeal Scones image

After finding an old scone recipe in the crevices of my kitchen, I experimented a little and it turned into a low fat--but still delicious!--treat, great for breakfast, snacks, or afternoon tea. These are best warm, split in half and spread with jam, preserves, butter, and/or clotted cream. Also great with a hot cup of tea. =)

Time 35m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups wheat flour
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup dried fruit (raisins, currants, cranberries, etc.) (optional)
1/4 cup light butter or 1/4 cup margarine
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon half-and-half (optional)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
extra sugar
1 tablespoon buttermilk (for brushing)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Mix together dry ingredients (flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt).
  • Cut in butter (I like to dice the butter and add it in, separating the cubes) and combine using a fork until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
  • Add dried fruit to dry mixture if desired.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (buttermilk, half-and-half, vanilla).
  • Gradually add wet mixture to the flour mixture and combine until a soft and sticky dough is formed.
  • Move dough to a lightly floured surface and knead 2-3 times. Do not overwork the dough. Roll the dough into a 6-8-inch circle (depending on how thick you like your scones) and cut into 8 pie-shaped slices. You can experiment with other dough shapes (such as circles) to maximize servings.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until scones are golden-brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • For extra crunch and golden color, brush the tops of the scones with buttermilk. Liberally sprinkle sugar on top and broil carefully for a few minutes, turning and adjusting as necessary. Be sure to watch as sugar browns quickly.
  • Enjoy.

MAPLE-OATMEAL SCONES

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats, plus additional for sprinkling
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
1/2 cup cold buttermilk
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
4 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk or water, for egg wash
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flours, oats, baking powder, sugar and salt. Blend the cold butter in at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Combine the buttermilk, maple syrup and eggs and add quickly to the flour-and-butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough may be sticky.
  • Dump the dough out onto a well-floured surface and be sure it is combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4 to 1 inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into 3-inch rounds with a plain or fluted cutter and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are crisp and the insides are done.
  • To make the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. When the scones are done, cool for 5 minutes and drizzle each scone with 1 tablespoon of the glaze. I like to sprinkle some uncooked oats on the top, for garnish. The warmer the scones are when you glaze them, the thinner the glaze will be.

1 1/2 cups rolled oats (4 1/2 ounces) or 1 1/2 cups quick oats
1/4 cup milk

10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread oats evenly on baking sheet and toast in oven until fragrant and lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes; cool on wire rack. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees. Line second baking sheet with parchment paper. When oats are cooled, measure out 2 tablespoons and set aside.

OATMEAL SCONES

I remember Mom making these whenever we would go camping. They are so light and flaky, and much easier than trying to make oatmeal over a camp fire.

COOKED OATMEAL SCONES



Cooked Oatmeal Scones image

Most scones ARE cooked; they're better that way. What I mean, of course, is that these are made with leftover cooked oatmeal. The only way to get leftover oatmeal in my house is to make extra and hide enough for these right away. There is nothing more comforting on a cold winter morning than a big bowl of oatmeal - except for these scones, with a little butter and honey and a nice pot of tea.

Provided by Jenny Sanders

Categories     Scones

Time 30m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup cooked oatmeal
2/3 cup milk
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or a bit more)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and honey together, and mix them into the cool, cooked oatmeal.
  • Mix in the milk, half at a time.
  • Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • You may wish to adjust the salt depending on how much was used in cooking the oatmeal- I am assuming not very much, if any.
  • Mix the flour into the oatmeal.
  • If the mixture seems too moist, add a little more flour.
  • (This will depend on how moist your cooked oatmeal was. When enough flour has been stirred in, the dough will form a rough ball.) Roll out to 1" thick and cut in wedges, or scoop it out with an ice cream scoop and flatten it to 1" with dampened hands.
  • Bake on a greased and floured sheet at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats for a heartier texture.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to not overmix the dough, as this will make the scones tough.
  • If you want a sweeter scone, you can add 1/2 cup of sugar to the dough. You can also sprinkle some sugar on top of the scones before baking.
  • Be sure to bake the scones until they are golden brown on top. This will ensure that they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These relatively healthy oatmeal scones are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are made with whole oats, buttermilk, and honey, and they are packed with flavor. You can enjoy them plain or with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or fruit.
