Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 60 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 120 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 60 milliliters Skim milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Rolled oats (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat Greek yogurt, skim milk, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough gently about 4-5 times until it comes together.
Shape the dough into a round disc approximately 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking tray, leaving a small gap between each scone. If desired, sprinkle the tops with rolled oats for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy your Low Cal Brown Scones with a pat of light butter or a dollop of jam (optional).
