These scones are simple to make and they are a great source of protein. Eat them as an easy, healthy breakfast.
Prep time: 10 min; Total time: 30 min
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 c. spelt or whole wheat flour
- 1 c. rolled oats (uncooked)
- 1 tbsp. sugar or maple syrup
- 1/3 c. nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 4 tbsp. butter or Earth Balance
- 1 c. soy milk or skim milk or buttermilk
- 1/2 c. or more fresh chives, chopped
Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a blender, combine 2 c. flour (reserve the last 1/4 c.), oats, sugar, nutritional yeast, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the butter or Earth Balance and blend until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add the buttermilk. Stir with a fork until a soft dough forms. Add the chives and knead the dough 10 to 12 times.
Spread the reserved flour on cookie sheet. Turn the dough out onto the flour and roll it out with a rolling pin. Cut the dough into small triangles.
Bake for 18-20 minutes and allow to cool on the cookie sheet.
Tips
Instead of rolled oats, substitute oat bran or wheat bran.
If you are not vegan, you can substitute grated cheddar cheese instead of nutritional yeast.
