How to Make Our High-Protein Blueberry Yogurt Scones
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Stir in the Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla until a soft dough forms.
Step 4: Fold in the Blueberries
Gently fold the blueberries into the dough to avoid crushing them.
Step 5: Shape the Scones
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Form it into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut into 8 wedges.
Step 6: Bake
Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Step 7: Finish and Serve
Allow the healthy blueberry scones to cool slightly before adding an optional glaze.
