Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cup Cinnamon chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (optional, for brushing)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cubed cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vanilla extract, egg, and buttermilk until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disc, about 1 inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges like a pizza and carefully transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.
If desired, brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite spread or a cup of tea. Enjoy!
