Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 0.5 cups Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups Skim milk
- 1 cup Fresh peaches (diced)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for a light sprinkle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the cold, diced butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, skim milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to over-mix. The dough should be slightly sticky.
Gently fold in the diced peaches, evenly distributing them throughout the dough.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle approximately 8 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
Use a sharp knife or a bench scraper to cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
Carefully transfer the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
If you’d like, sprinkle a light dusting of ground cinnamon over the tops of the scones for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool slightly on a wire rack.
Optional: Lightly sprinkle powdered sugar over the scones before serving for a touch of sweetness.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Weight Watchers-friendly peach scones!
