Ingredients for Healthy Blueberry Scones

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Butter Substitute
  • 1 large egg
  • Low Fat Buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

How to Make Healthy Blueberry Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently with a fork until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
