Description
Lemon blueberry scones are a classic dessert, snack, or even breakfast addition. But instead of tons of butter or oil, or nutritionally void white flour, these scones only contain complex carbohydrates from whole wheat flour while having no added fat.
Without any refined flour, these scones are higher in fiber, protein, B vitamins, and iron. These sugar free scones are sweetened with granulated monk fruit, get some additional protein from the egg and Greek yogurt, and are flavored with lemon juice and frozen blueberries!

Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 350F, and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the wet ingredients in a large bowl - egg, yogurt, lemon juice, granulated monk fruit, and vanilla.
- Mix in the dry ingredients with a silicone spatula - salt, baking powder, and whole wheat flour.
- Fold in the frozen blueberries.
- Divide the dough into 4 even pieces, about 132 g each. Shape into round, thick circles on your cookie sheet, about 3/4" tall.
- Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown, a toothpick comes out clean, and the internal temperature is about 205F. Transfer to a wire rack to cool totally.
