These blueberry oat scones will taste decadent but will not break the calorie bank.

A story about scones.

My late husband tried a scone at a business meeting in 1989.  He declared it was the worst thing he ever ate.

And never ate another one the rest of his life, even after I’ve made DOZENS of scones on this blog.

Slightly crunchy on the outside, tender crumb on the inside,  the acidity from the blueberries and the decorative sugar on top.  Perfect combo.  I say this a lot, but I think this is my favorite scone yet!   

How do you make light fluffy scones?

Cold butter + hot stove = fluffy, tender scones.  Freezing my scone dough after forming for 30 minutes while my oven gets to 425 makes all the difference.  You will get THE BEST knife cuts on your scone doing that.

Can you use frozen fruit to make scones?

Yes, but I find that the frozen berries bleed into the dough.  I’ve strained the frozen berries with some success, but I do prefer using fresh fruit to make scones.

Give these scones a try if you’ve given scones the stink eye before – promise I will convert you to loving scones!  If you love Starbuck’s Vanilla Bean scone, be sure to check out my copycat recipe.

These are not baby scones either.  This will be perfect for breakfast with a scrambled egg and some fruit.  Let me know if you make these!

These blueberry oat scones will taste decadent but will not break the calorie bank. They are the perfect start to your day or for a Sunday brunch. The secret is to freeze the dough before baking - you'll get the best knife cuts! On all the WW plans these are 4 points each. If you leave off the decorative sugar (but it's so pretty!) they would be 3 points each. #blueberry #scone #ww
