Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Wheat bran
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Cold unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Optional: Raisins or dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, wheat bran, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Step 6

If using raisins or dried cranberries, fold them into the dough at this stage.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Cut the dough into 8 wedges (like slicing a pie) and place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 9

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite toppings.
