Whip up a batch of High Protein Oatmeal Drop Scones—an irresistible twist on traditional scones with a wholesome upgrade! Packed with the goodness of rolled oats, whole wheat flour, and vanilla protein powder, these easy-to-make scones are a delightful mix of hearty and healthy. Greek yogurt and almond milk keep them tender and moist, while a touch of honey adds natural sweetness. Optional chopped nuts and dried fruits like raisins or cranberries dial up the texture and flavor, making these high protein scones a perfect pick-me-up for busy mornings or post-workout snacks. Ready in under 30 minutes, these golden-brown bites are nutrient-dense, satisfying, and perfect for meal prep. Whether enjoyed warm or at room temperature, they’re a delicious balance of indulgence and nutrition.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Melt the coconut oil and allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the wet ingredients.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts and raisins or dried cranberries.
Using two spoons or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scone.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
