Easy Cranberry Orange Pecan Scones

"Yet another new scone recipe that I've come up with. We like these scones because they're hearty, healthy, tasty, and hold you to lunch! I hope you enjoy these as much as we do. These scones are not overly sweet, so if you like your scones sweet, you may wish to add more brown sugar."

  1. The BEST EVER! Beats the full fat butter scones in a heart beat! I've been making these scones for more than a year for playgroups & teachers, not to mention my family who scarfs these down. Plus the recipe is so versatile. I've substituted cranberries, for different types of berries, and as of yesterday I made it w/ chocolate chips & replaced the zest w/ 1 tsp of cinamon. It was the hit of the brunch. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Will be with me for ever!
     
  2. Wow! Can't believe these are so low in fat and so good! Reminds me of the scone I get at my neighborhood coffee shop. Lots of flavor and healthy too! And quick to make. No kneading all of that butter into the flour!
     
  3. Really easy to make, and delicious! The oats add nice texture and are very toothsome. I made lemon poppyseed and chocolate chip variations based on the first reviewer's suggestions. I doubled the recipe and used vanilla yogurt instead of milk, which probably adds some sweetness. Great recipe - thanks!
     
  4. Oh my gosh, these are good! I used 1 tablespoon of Splenda brown blend and skipped the sugar topping. Aside from that it was all by the recipe and they are scrumptious. I guess that I made one other change if you can call it a that, I made 8 instead of 4 because if I made 4 of them I would never eat half and stop! Lovely flavor throughout with a nice tang from the cranberries. A very appealing scone recipe that is made in almost no time at all.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
