Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, low-fat milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix as this can result in dense scones.
If using, fold in the dried fruits into the mixture until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each scone.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden on top and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the scones 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. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
