Ingredients

• 100 grams rolled oats
• 75 grams whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 120 grams non-fat Greek yogurt
• 120 milliliters low-fat milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 50 grams dried fruits (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, low-fat milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix as this can result in dense scones.

Step 5

If using, fold in the dried fruits into the mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each scone.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden on top and cooked through.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
