Healthy Blueberry Greek Yogurt Scones1
Over the past three months, I’ve been on a real fruit obsession. Fruit smoothies, shakes, muffins and jams galore! In the event that you keep in mind, I even place blueberries within a cookie (OMG so good!).
One fruits I’m absolutely in love with are the organic braeburn apples from Trader Joe’s. They’re one of my favorite healthful snacks particularly when dipped in peanut butter or vanilla greek yogurt. Personally i think so lucky when I find them because they have the sweetest flavor and best crunchy consistency. Lord knows I’m already excited for apple season therefore i can bake up my well-known apple crisp and warm-up some hearts.
Since we’re not in to the Fall season just yet, I felt like it was a little too early to start busting out apple quality recipes. So today I’m bringing you a wholesome, lightened up wholegrain scone bursting with the nice blueberries I found at my regional farmer’s market previously come early july. They’ve been in my freezer for the past month and I was wanting to utilize them up!
This was actually my first-time tinkering with scones and it definitely won’t be the final. The crumb was quite ideal- therefore fluffy and moist from your greek yogurt. The outside has a wonderful crunchy texture which was irresistible; it tasted just like the best of the blueberry muffin. The very best part is these healthy ones definitely melt in the mouth area as being a buttery scone would. Try dipping them in just a little coffee. TO DIE FOR.
I considered glazing them, but they’re quite perfect as is. Not really too lovely, but a thing that you could enjoy for breakfast time or packed for a guilt-gluten free hazelnut cheesecake crust lunchtime or snack.
I used just a little of butter in these, but you could try using coconut essential oil instead. I don’t see it making a lot of a difference. Jazz up these scones by adding a squeeze of clean lemon juice or some vanilla beans.
Enjoy! xo
Ingredients
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat grains
3 tablespoons brownish sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cooking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons butter
1 egg white
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a small saucepan, brown the butter over moderate high heat. If you are unfamiliar how to do this, I’ve produced a step-by-step tutorial Unless you feel just like browning it, it is possible to just melt and great the butter, or make use of softened butter.
In a big bowl, whisk collectively both flours, brown sugar, baking soda, baking natural powder and salt.
In a small dish, combined greek yogurt, vanilla, butter, and egg white. Add damp ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just moist. Mixture ought to be crumbly. Gently flip in blueberries.
Change dough onto a lightly floured surface area and knead about 8 moments together with your hands. Dough will quickly come together. Form dough right into a 6-8 inches circle and put on baking sheet or parchment paper coated with food preparation squirt. Cut into 6 wedges and hardly separate.
To make the topping, combine sugars and cinnamon. Spray the top from the dough with cooking food spray after that sprinkle the top of the dough using the cinnamon sugars blend. Bake for 15-20 mins or until top of the scones are gently golden brown.
Feel free to work with a flavored greek yogurt.
Try adding raspberries or strawberries rather than blueberries! You can even use dried fruits.

I’m new to the cooking world but tried these today and LOVE the way they turned out, will definitely be tinkering with even more of your dishes:)
Hi Monique,
We made these plus they turned out so good!! Can’t believe they in fact turn out like a true scone. Next up, I had been thinking easily can replace the the butter with applesauce.. Would that end up being unthinkable? Or worth a go.?
Hi Monique,
i do not like the width of greek yogourt for feeding on, so i do not have it around…however, i really do usually have simple yogourt within the fridge, therefore i just place some in a little sieve for about an hour prior to making these, and lots of liquid drained out and gave me the width required!
