Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cups Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Optional: additional oats for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean work surface and your hands. Turn the dough out onto the surface and shape it into a round disc approximately 1 inch thick and about 7 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or a dough cutter, slice the disc into 8 equal wedges (like pizza slices).

Step 7

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart. If desired, sprinkle additional oats on top for decoration.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

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 10

Enjoy them warm or at room temperature. These scones pair wonderfully with a dollop of jam or a light spread of honey!
