Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cup Rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.33 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh blackberries
- 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the light brown sugar, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the blackberries and fold them in gently, trying to keep the berries whole to avoid excess bleeding into the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 1-inch thick circle (approximately 7–8 inches in diameter).
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Optional: Sprinkle the tops of the scones with turbinado sugar for a bit of crunch and added sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
