Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthy Buttermilk Drop Scones with Cranberries and Almonds.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking sheet.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, applesauce, and egg until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms. Gently fold in the dried cranberries and sliced almonds.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining sugar and a pinch of cinnamon for the topping.
Step 5
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop dollops of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle the tops with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
