Ingredients
  • 1cup oats(ground in a food processor, or use oat flour)
  • 1cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2cup white flour
  • 4Tbsp butter(cold)
  • 1Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2tsp salt
  • 1large egg
  • 1/2cup milk
  • 1medium orange’s zest
  • 1/3cup mini chocolate chips
Lemon glaze
  • 1Tbsp lemon juice
  • 3Tbsp granulated sugar(cane or sugar in the raw work well)
  • 1Tbsp canola oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425F. Blend the oats, flours, baking soda and salt in a blender (or bowl, by hand). Add the butter and use a dough setting on the blender, or a fork or pastry cutter to incorporate into flour. Place in a bowl, then stir in zest and chocolate chips. Mix egg and milk, then pour into dry ingredients and stir until evenly mixed – don’t over-blend! Drop with a spoon onto a baking sheet (leave lots of space, see below!), then mix the lemon glaze ingredients separately in a small bowl and brush on to the tops of the unbaked scones. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
