Banana-Cherry Oat Scones
These scones are a little healthier due to using oats & whole wheat flour and also I made these eggless
Servings: 5
Calories: 425kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Bob’s 5-grain cereal blend alternatively, you can just use oats
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 2 bananas mashed
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/3 cup milk I used skim milk – another attempt to make them a little healthier
- heavy cream for brushing the tops
- 1 teaspoon sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the milk and butter.
- Slowly start incorporating the flour into the well, until you have a dough.
- The dough will be a little dry.
- Now, add the mashed banana and mix well. Now fold in the dry cherries and you will have a soft dough.
- If you don’t have a scone pan, just turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out scones and place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with a little sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
- Enjoy them with preserves and lemon or lime curd!
