Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 0.5 cup Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Add the diced cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the honey, applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently mix just until the dough comes together. If using raisins or dried cranberries, fold them in at this stage.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently shape it into a round disk, approximately 1 inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges, like slicing a pizza.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 14–16 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your relatively healthy oatmeal scones with a cup of tea or coffee!
