Orange Cranberry Scones are a delicious start to your day! Fresh and healthy, you'll love these!
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon 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 tablespoon icing sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon orange flavored protein powder (*optional)
- 1 tablespoon warm water
-
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.
