How to Make Relatively Healthy Oatmeal Scones

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add ½ cup of dried cranberries or raisins (optional).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 large egg, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 2-3 times. Avoid overworking the dough.
  8. Roll the dough into a 6-8 inch circle and cut into 8 pie-shaped wedges.
  9. Place scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. For extra crunch, brush the tops with a little extra buttermilk.
  11. Sprinkle liberally with coarse sugar.
  12. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. For extra browning, carefully broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  14. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings!
