Healthy Cranberry Orange Oatmeal Scones Recipes

CRANBERRY ORANGE OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Using 2 knives, cut in the butter or margarine until combined and it looks like coarse crumbs.
• Add in the orange zest, cranberries and add sour or butter milk. Stir until completely combined.
• Lightly flour your surface and place the dough on the surface. Using your hands, form the dough together but don't knead it. Form the mixture so the whole mixture is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Divide into 3 pieces.
• Cut 4 scones out of the 3 pieces. Transfer each scone to the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with milk (not the sour milk!)
• Bake in oven for ~25 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Let cool.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine flour, butter, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until butter is pea-sized or smaller. Pour buttermilk and 1/2 of the orange juice in slowly, with the processor running, until dough is sticky and all flour is absorbed. Mix in dried cranberries until evenly distributed. Reserve remaining orange juice for the icing.
• Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently roll to a thickness of about 1 inch. Cut dough into 12 triangles with a knife (or use a biscuit cutter for circles) and transfer to a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• While the scones are baking, combine reserved orange juice and 1 cup powdered sugar for icing. Stir to desired consistency, adding more powdered sugar as needed.
• Remove scones from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes to cool. Transfer to a plate and drizzle with icing. Serve warm.

OATMEAL CRANBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in the oatmeal and cranberries. You may need to use your fingers to be sure the cranberries are all separated.
• Whisk together the egg, butter and milk then add the mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix together just until the dry ingredients are moistened. The dough will be sticky.
• Transfer the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet and pat into a circle about 3/4 inches (2 cm) thick. Sprinkle liberally with sugar and score the top into eight wedges.
• Bake on a rack in the middle of the oven for about 12 minutes until lightly browned.
