Granola Scones
This is a weekend favorite around our house. It is fairly versatile and we often use the recipe as more of a guideline. You can add fresh or dried fruit, and even try different types of flours depending on your preferences. In the scones pictured, we used Tropic of Ginger Granola and frozen blueberries. With a full scoop of Mila, we figure each scone has about 300 mg of Omega-3s along with added fiber and protein from the granola and Mila. Another combination we tried this fall was adding pumpkin puree, nutmeg and clove–it was a hit!
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Sift together into a large bowl:
2 cups spelt flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons Mila

6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
Stir in:
½ cup Nana’s All Natural Granola
3/4 cup half and half/or buttermilk
½ cup fresh or frozen berries
Mix with spatula until moistened. Knead dough against sides and bottom of bowl. Drop the batter in mounds onto an un-greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with:
sugar/cinnamon
Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 8 to 12 scones
