Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Optional: additional oats for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and your hands. Turn the dough out onto the surface and shape it into a round disc approximately 1 inch thick and about 7 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife or a dough cutter, slice the disc into 8 equal wedges (like pizza slices).
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart. If desired, sprinkle additional oats on top for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy them warm or at room temperature. These scones pair wonderfully with a dollop of jam or a light spread of honey!
