How to Make Cranberry Whole Wheat Scones Diabetic Friendly

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, ½ cup Splenda (or equivalent sugar substitute), 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon of your chosen spice (ginger or cinnamon).
  3. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and ⅓ cup buttermilk.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat or roll into an 8-inch circle, about ¾ inch thick.
  8. Brush the top with a little extra buttermilk.
  9. Sprinkle with ¼ cup rolled oats, pressing gently into the dough.
  10. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
  11. Place the scones 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  13. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy!
