Orange Cranberry Scones
Orange Cranberry Scones are a delicious start to your day! This week I was served these beautiful scones along with afternoon coffee at my friend Dorthea’s house! It is her own recipe she came up with and these are just amazing! I just knew I had to share the recipe with all of you and my friend was kind enough to pass this along! Thank you Dorthea!

These do take a little bit of effort but the results are worth it! This recipe is completely versatile… you can adapt it to your own tastes! Swap out the orange cranberry for your own combination… blueberries, chocolate chips or flax seed!
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- zest of one orange
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 3 TBSP icing sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- * 1 tsp of orange flavored protein powder (*optional)
- 1 TBSP warm water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400'C
- Place flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a food processor, blend.
- Add butter into food processor, pulse until blended. (See note if you don't have a food processor)
- Add cranberries, orange zest, Greek yogurt and egg into food processor, pulse until ingredients all mixed together and forms into a dough.
- Make small balls of dough, flatten & cut into triangles.
- Place on baking sheet with parchment paper and bake 10-12 minutes until scones are slightly browned on top.
- To make icing place icing sugar, extract and flavored protein powder in a Ziploc sandwich bag. Slowly add warm water. Gently squeeze bag to mix the ingredients together. If too watery add more icing sugar. Once you have a good icing consistency with a pair of scissors snip a corner off the Ziploc bag and use as your piping bag!
- After scones are slightly cooled, place scones on a large plate and drizzle with icing.

Note: If you do not have a food processor you can use a large bowl to mix ingredients. Start with initial dry ingredients. You will have to cut in the cold butter until you have a crumbly consistency using either your hands or a pasty knife. Then add cranberries, orange zest, Greek yogurt and egg. Blend with hands until you have a doughy consistency. Once you have dough formed follow directions as above.
