Healthy Cinnamon Roll Scones

What do you get when a cinnamon roll and a scone get combined with a healthy twist? This healthy treat!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 cup salted butter cold and cubed
  • ½ cup; nonfat Greek yogurt Vanilla or Plain flavored
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup Splenda® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend
  • For the glaze:
  • 1/4 cup reduced fat cream cheese; softened
  • 1/4 cup Splenda® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend
  • 2 Tbsp. whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • With a stand mixer, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the butter in cubes and add to the mixture- the mixture will resemble fine crumbs. Stir in the Greek yogurt, vanilla, milk, egg, and Splenda® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend.The dough will be light and it will form into a ball.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet, and shape into a ¾” tall circle using a spatula. Slice the circle into 8 triangular segments with a sharp knife. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden. Transfer on a cooling rack and let cool completely.
  • In the meantime, you can make the drizzle! Stir together the cream cheese, milk, and Splenda® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend in a small bowl. If you want a thinner glaze, add more milk. Mix until the glaze is lump-free and smooth. Transfer the glaze mixture to a zip-topped bag, and cut off a tiny piece of one corner. Drizzle the top of each scone and enjoy this healthful treat!
