healthy breakfast = scones?

Yep.  These little babies are good for you.  And they have less calories than the new mini scones they offer at Starbucks.  Seriously, I got one of those, thinking, "Well, it is petite".  Yeah, not so petite in the calorie department.  Anyway, here is a healthy and tasty alternative.  Have them for breakfast, have them for tea, have them whenever - they're good.

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 1 egg, beaten until kinda frothy
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/3 cup skim milk
• 
  
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper (or just spray it with some Pam). 
• Mix the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, and dried fruit. 
• Make a well in the center. 
• Add butter, milk and applesauce to your frothy egg (sorry, I know that sounds a little unpleasant).  
• Pour into the well, and mix until you have a soft dough. 
• Pat into two 1/2" thick circles and put them on your cookie sheet. Score 8 wedges into each circle. 
• Bake 15 minutes until they rise a bit and turn golden. Split them into wedges and serve.  

And be proud of yourself when you eat them!  My kiddo loves these "cones" - I hope yours does, too!
