Ingredients

SCONES:
1 1/2 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup All purpose flour
1 cup “quick cook” or old fashioned oats (not instant)
6 tablespoons Light brown sugar
1 tablespoon Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup Skim milk
1 Egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 cup Pecans (optional)
2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
ICING:
3/4 cup Powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
3 teaspoons Milk

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the flours, oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, milk, egg and vanilla and whisk until well blended. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients all at once and stir with a fork or rubber spatula until dry ingredients are moistened. If desired, fold in pecans.

Drop the dough by 1/4 cupfuls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the scones to a wire rack to cool for at least 5 minutes.

While the scones are cooling, make the icing; drizzle or spoon icing over the top of the warm scones.
