Very slightly sweet, quite healthy compared to your average scone. If you want this sweet add another 1/2 cup sugar or splenda!! Great for on the go. This is also great if you add a cup of dried fruit such as blueberries, cherries or currants at the end. Be careful not to overmix and remember, these are not meant to be sweet. Caution this is a fairly moist dough, just use quite a bit of flour to avoid sticking. This recipe is lower calorie, high fiber, high protein (for a scone), and very low GI. These will keep you full for a very long time. Ingredients:
2 cups steel cut oats |
2 cups low-fat buttermilk |
1 egg |
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce |
1/2 cup light brown sugar |
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup butter, cold and diced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3 teaspoons cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
Directions:
1. Soak the oatmeal in the buttermilk for up 2 -3 hours, a minimum of 1 hour.
2. MIx all dry ingredients together including cinnamon.
3. Cut butter into dry ingredients.
4. Mix extracts, egg and sugar well, into oatmeal/buttermilk mixture.
5. Very gently mix wet and dry mixtures together until just incorporated and turn out onto floured surface.
6. Roll out and cut to the size you prefer.
7. Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes depending on your oven, watch these very closely to make sure they do not dry out!
8. Makes 24 medium/small scones.
