I found this recipe for Oatmeal Yogurt Scones on a blog that I have enjoyed reading before. The recipe just happened to be featured on Fitsugar. The recipe is actually modified from one for quick bread, and the result is something much moister, and less flaky than a traditional scone. what this means for my adaptation is that it lies somewhere in between scone and muffin. Jarrett and Mike coined the terms Scuffin and Mones as a label for this creation. Whatever it is, here is a petite, yet filling (thanks to all the fiber) snack with just enough sweetness and substance to be a snack or part of a meal.
Vanilla Sugar-Glazed Oatmeal Yogurt Scuffins (or Mones)
Ingredients:
Image via Wikipedia1 C oatmeal
1 1/3 C whole wheat flour
4 T flax meal
1 t baking soda
1 t ground cinnamon
1 t ground nutmeg
1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 t salt
1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 t salt
3/4 C Greek yogurt
1/4 C non fat milk
3 egg whites
1 t vanilla extract
1 T walnut oil
2 T sugar
2 T water
1 t vanilla extract
Combine and microwave until the sugar is dissolved
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stir together the yogurt, milk, egg whites, and vanilla until combined. Mix together the flour, oats, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar, and flax meal. Incorporate the dry ingredients into the mixture of the wet ingredients. Mix well until a sticky dough is formed.
Divide into 9 portions and roll into balls. Flatten the balls and place on a baking sheet with a greased sheet of aluminum foil. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Glaze the top of each ball with simple sugar and bake for another 2 minutes. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes before eating, if you can resist.
