Whole Wheat Mini Chip Scones

What is your idea of the perfect morning? Mine involves a freshly ground cup of coffee, sun streaming in the window, and a healthy home-baked item. In fact it kind of looks like this:

These scones have all of the flavor and texture of a full-fat, full-sugar bakery item. However, these are made out of whole wheat flour, yogurt, and little sugar making it possible to have the perfect morning more often. 🙂 Let’s have another look:

This recipe is stress free. Stick all of the ingredients in the food processor (Have I ever mentioned how much I love my food processor?!) and let it do the work for you! In 10-15 minutes you will be enjoying your own perfect start to the day. 🙂

Whole Wheat Mini Chip SconesPin It
Yield: 8 scones

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 C White Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 C sugar
  • 1/4 C sugar substitute
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 6 tbsp cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 C low-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fat-free milk (If you are substituting all-purpose flour for the whole wheat, do not add the milk. The whole flour requires more liquid.)
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 C mini chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 425
  2. In a food processor, mix together the flour, salt, powder, soda, and sugar.
  3. Add the butter and pulse until dough resembles a course meal.
  4. Add the egg, yogurt, milk, and vanilla. Mix until a dough ball forms. If your batter is still dry, add another tablespoon of milk.
  5. Remove from food processor onto a floured surface. Knead in the chocolate chips. You may need to add more flour if your dough is really sticky.
  6. Flatten the dough into roughly an 8-inch round. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 pieces.
  7. Arrange on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the scones puff and turn light brown.
  9. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Best served warm.

I love any recipe that looks sweet and chocolatey and delicious but is "guilt free". Yes, I like this very much :)

Scones are a great grab & go breakfast treat, but it's not something I make very often. Love that they are easy to assemble and make, it's just about a little advance planning. :)
