- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cup oat flour

- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup dried cherries
- ½ stick unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup yogurt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- topping: 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 1 tablespoon rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone pad.
- In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, oat flour, oats, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Toss the dried cherries to coat.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and smash between your fingers, incorporating it into the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, yogurt, and vanilla, and pour into dry mixture.
- Gently mix everything together with your hands until it becomes a dough and place it on a lined baking sheet. Form into a disc, cut into six scones with a sharp knife and brush with heavy cream, sprinkle with sugar and oats. Bake whole in this circle. This will result in tender, delicious scones that aren't dry!
- Bake for 20-35 minutes, until golden brown around the edges.
