Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.33 cups Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Granulated stevia or erythritol blend
• 3 tablespoons Butter, chilled and cubed (unsalted or plant-based)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered stevia or erythritol blend
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for topping swirl)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and granulated stevia or erythritol blend.

Step 3

Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can lead to dense scones.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Mix the powdered stevia or erythritol blend with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to create the topping swirl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the dough.

Step 8

Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges, like slicing a pizza.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to ensure even baking.

Step 10

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Optional: If desired, mix a small amount of powdered stevia with almond milk to create a light glaze and drizzle it over the cooled scones before serving.
