Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar substitute (erythritol or stevia blend)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar substitute, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the scones tender.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones are best enjoyed the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
