Blueberry scones are a coffee shop classic–they’re slightly sweet, slightly soft and cakey, and a perfect companion to a morning cup up coffee. The pops of sweetness from fresh blueberries mixed with the brightness of the lemon zest and are a classic combination you and your family will love. Best part? These real-deal sized scones are only 5 WW SP per blueberry scone!

Ingredients
2 cup self-rising flour
1 tbsp baking powder
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp buttercold or frozen and cut into pea-sized cubes
Lemon zest from one lemon
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 egg
1/4 cup cashew milk (or preferred milk) + 1 tbsp to brush on top
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup blueberries
1 tsp turbinado sugar
Optional Glaze
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Sift together flour, baking powder, and sugar. Stir in butter and lemon zest and incorporate the butter into the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix yogurt, egg, ¼ cup cashew milk, and vanilla.
Make a well in the dry bowl, and pour the wet mixture into the middle. Use a rubber spatula to mix the ingredients together. Try to mix just enough to fully incorporate and not over mix.
Once the ingredients are mixed and shaggy (similar to my biscuit dough), pour in the blueberries and fold them into the dough.
Lightly flour a cutting board, dump out the dough, and shape into a disk. The dough should be roughly 1 inch high and 9 inches wide.
Cut the dough into 8 equal triangles. Place triangles about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or sprayed with cooking spray).
Brush the tops with cashew milk and sprinkle turbinado sugar. Give the tops a spritz of cooking spray for safe measure. Refrigerate scones until the oven is preheated.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400 until the tops are golden.
