I love that you don’t have to feel guilty about eating these scones. These scones are not only good for you but they are a snap to make. They are high in fiber, protein and low in fat. The scones are a perfect breakfast-to-go for you and your kids. Add your favorite cup of coffee, or a glass of milk for your kids, and go. If you want to make these vegan, you can substitute 1/2 cup yogurt with 1/2 cup soy buttermilk (soymilk with 2 Tbsp lemon juice and let sit for 10 minutes).
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup oats
2 Tbsp ground flax or chia seeds
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup non-fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup agave
2 Tbsp canola oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 cup dried cranberries (or any other dried/frozen or fresh fruit)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 F and coat baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Mix flour, oats, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
3. In a smaller bowl combine yogurt, applesauce, agave nectar, oil, lemon juice and zest.
4. Pour yogurt mixture into dry mixture. Add cranberries and walnuts and stir until combined.
5. Drop 1/4 cup of batter onto baking sheet. Batter should make about 10 scones.
6. Bake for 15 minutes and serve with a hot cup of tea.
