Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute, thawed (or 2 eggs, slightly beaten)
1/3 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup dried cranberries or 3/4 cup dried currant
buttermilk
3 tablespoons rolled oats

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degree F.
  • In a large bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, Splenda, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, and salt.
  • Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
  • In a small bowl, beat egg slightly; stir in the 1/3 cup buttermilk and cranberries.
  • Add buttermilk mixture all at once to flour mixture.
  • Stir just until moistened (some of the dough may look dry).
  • Turn out onto a floured surface.
  • Knead dough for 10 to 12 strokes or until nearly smooth.
  • Pat or lightly roll dough to an 8-inch circle about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Brush top with additional buttermilk; sprinkle with oats, pressing gently into dough.
  • Cut into 8 wedges.
  • Place dough wedges 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until edges are light browned.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour is a good source of fiber, which can help to regulate blood sugar levels. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals.
  • Add a little sweetness naturally. Instead of using refined sugar, try using natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia. These sweeteners have a lower glycemic index, which means they will not cause a spike in blood sugar levels.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough can make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the scones at a high temperature. Baking the scones at a high temperature will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the scones fresh or freeze them for later. Freshly baked scones are always best, but if you need to make them ahead of time, you can freeze them for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These wheaten scones are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are made with whole wheat flour, natural sweeteners, and fresh fruit. They are also easy to make and can be frozen for later. So next time you are looking for a diabetic-friendly breakfast or snack, try these wheaten scones.
