These scones have no butter and whipped cottage cheese and it’s like a scone and a biscuit had a baby! Light, fluffy and delicious.

PREPRATION TIME:

Yield: 8 scones

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1/2 cup quick oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
• 1/3 cup lowfat buttermilk
• 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon decorative sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. In a food processor, blend the yogurt, cottage cheese and buttermilk and blend until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, add the flour, oats, baking powder, salt and sugar and mix. Add blueberries and toss to coat in the flour.
3. Add cottage cheese mixture to dry mix and mix just until the dough comes together.
4. On parchment paper, shape the dough into an 8 inch circle, about 1 inch high.
5. Freeze for 45-60 minutes in that circle, without cutting. The reason you need to freeze it is so that you can get straight cut lines before baking.
6. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
7. Slice the circle into 8 pieces.
8. Separate and place on baking sheet. Spray with avocado oil spray and sprinkle with the optional decorative sugar.
9. Bake 15-18 minutes.
10. Enjoy!
