Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons toasted, flaxseed*
• 11/2  cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
• 1/2  cup rolled oats
• 1/4  cup sugar
• 2  teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4  teaspoon salt
• 1/4  cup cold butter, cut into pieces
• 1  6-ounce carton Yoplait® fat-free or low fat plain yogurt
• 1  egg white, lightly beaten
• 11/4  cups fresh blueberries
• Fat-free milk
• Rolled oats and/or flaxseeds (optional)

Directions

1. *To toast flaxseeds, place in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until seeds are fragrant and begin to pop.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper; set aside. Place toasted flaxseeds in a spice grinder and pulse until ground to a fine powder.
3. In a medium bowl, combine ground flaxseeds, flour, the ½ cup oats, the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, combine yogurt and egg white. Gently fold in blueberries. Add yogurt mixture all at once to flour mixture. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
5. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll dough into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 12 wedges.
6. Place wedges 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops of scones with milk. If desired, sprinkle lightly with additional oats and/or flaxseeds. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
