You’ll love these hearty scones with oatmeal, nuts and dried fruit. Great if you’re looking for a healthier breakfast or snack. Awesome right out of the oven but still amazing if you need a snack on the go. 

 

Oatmeal Scones on parchment paperI am one of the few people who really doesn’t like sweet breakfast food in the morning.  Muffins and cinnamon rolls with frosting are great for an afternoon snack but I don’t want them in the morning.  Taylor brought a friend home to watch football and I experimented on them with this hearty scone recipe.  They have oatmeal and toasted walnuts and I added dried blueberries, but any dried fruit would work.  Finishing them with a little turbinado sugar added just enough sweetness for me.

If you’re looking for a more traditional shape, just roll them out and cut into triangles.  Just as delicious whatever the shape.

Give these a try if you need a healthier breakfast or snack.  They freeze great so you can take one out of the freezer the night before and have a fabulous breakfast that you can eat on the run or enjoy with your tea or coffee.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon flour
  • ⅔ cup whole wheat flour

  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda

      I haven’t been to the bakery, but the recipe is from their cookbook, The sweeter side of Amy’s Bread. Next time I’m in the area, I hope I can try it out in person.
