Healthy-ish English Scones

Hellooo! Today I wanted to share with you my first recipe on this blog. I love scones (Just thinking about them... Mmmm) and this healthier version of them is incredible! Sundays morning breakfast is the perfect time to make them and eat them :-) Don't forget that they're still a treat and even if they are a healthier version they're not super duper healthy ;-) They are very easy to make so anyone can do it! Let's go in the kitchen!

For this recipe you will need (for about 12 scones)

280 g whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

100 g butter 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 cup milk (I used almond milk)

120 g pitted dates cut into chunks

100 g rolled oats

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C. 

Combine flour, cinnamon and baking powder into a bowl

Add in the butter, rubbing it with your fingers

Add in the chunks of dates

Combine milk, honey and vanilla extract in a separate bowl

Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients

Mix until you have a sticky dough

Sprinkle half of the oats on a working surface. 

Place the dough on top, sprinkle the rest of the oats and press gently until the scone dough is about 2.5 cm thick.

Cut into rounds (I used a glass to do it)

Place onto a baking tray

Bake for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown

Serve warm with ricotta and jam on top, Enjoy!

This was the recipe. Tell me if you made some and if you liked them as much as I did!
I will talk to you soon,
