Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cup Cinnamon chips
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (optional, for brushing)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cubed cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the vanilla extract, egg, and buttermilk until fully combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disc, about 1 inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges like a pizza and carefully transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.

Step 9

If desired, brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite spread or a cup of tea. Enjoy!
