These scones are the perfect answer for the morning rush! Unlike a lot of low fat foods, which can be so loaded with sugar that you feel hungry soon after eating them, these are quite filling -- you can eat just half of one and still satisfy the need for morning sustenance. Plus, you'll get in a nice amount of bran for the day, an appropriate source of roughage.

Ingredients
1 Egg
1/2 cup Sugar
5 tablespoons Grapeseed or expeller-pressed canola oil
1/8 teaspoon Lemon zest
1/2 cup Oatmeal (not instant)
1/4 cup Wheat bran
1 1/2 cups Unbleached white flour
2 tablespoons Millet
2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 cup Milk
Lemon Topping:
3 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup Confectioners sugar
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Whisk the egg, sugar, and oil together in a bowl. Mix the lemon zest and all of the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until all of them are evenly dispersed throughout. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the egg, sugar, and oil, and mix to create a thick dough. Add the milk and mix well.
3. Lightly grease a baking pan. Scoop up tablespoonfuls of the dough and drop them one by one in mounds onto the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between. You should have about 10 scones. Bake for 15-20 minutes, just until the crust is barely golden brown and the dough is dry. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
4. With a fork mix the Lemon Topping ingredients until the sugar is completely melded in. Drizzle 1 tablespoon ever each scone.
