Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups whole-wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup butter cold
  • 1 cup cottage cheese blended
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup blueberries fresh
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour with brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add in the cold butter, cut into pieces, and work it into the flour with two forks and then your hands until small crumbles form.
  • Add in the cottage cheese and pure vanilla extract. Stir with a spatula and start kneading the dough with your hands at the end,
  • Then add in the blueberries and fold them in while avoiding squishing them.
  • Sprinkle some flour on a surface and transfer the dough. Roll the dough with a rolling pin until it’s about 1 inch thick into a circle.
  • Cut with a knife into 8 triangles. Place each scone on the baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Then brush the scones with the egg and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, let them cool down a little bit, and eat them warm.
