Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Optional: Raisins, dried cranberries, or nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

If using optional add-ins, gently fold them into the dough.

Step 7

Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently shape the dough into a circle about 7-8 inches in diameter and 1-inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each wedge.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with butter, jam, or honey.
