Chocolate Chip Scones

It’s no secret that I LOVE chocolate, and I LOVE scones.  Not something my body can afford to eat every day, so I appreciate this somewhat healthy version of CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES!  It uses yogurt instead of oil.  It also has whole wheat flour and oats!

CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES      

½ cup whole wheat flour

½ cup all purpose flour

½ cup old fashioned oats

3 T sugar …. I use raw sugar

1 t baking powder

¼ t baking soda

½ t ground cinnamon

2 T unsalted cold butter

¼ c plain low fat yogurt…Greek yogurt is great!

1 egg

¼ t vanilla extract

¼ cup (or more) mini chocolate chips.

Mix together the flours, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a food processor.  While the food processor runs, add small cubes of butter, one at a time.

Process until crumbly.  Add the yogurt, egg, and vanilla.  Process until well mixed.  Add the chocolate chips, process until combined.

Place the dough on a lightly floured cutting board.  Knead to finish combining all the ingredients.  Form into a ball; flatten into an 8 inch circle with your hands or a rolling pin.  Using a pizza cutter, cut into 8 wedges.  Place wedges on baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 400 for 15 minutes.
