A delicious and moist Blueberry Lemon Scones recipe that’s healthy and super easy to make. These scones are the perfect grab and go breakfast!

Blueberry Lemon Scones

Who doesn’t like a good scone recipe? Especially if it’s a healthy scone recipe, right?! This recipe came to life when I had a pint of blueberries just sitting in my refrigerator. I bought the blueberries in hopes that Mr. Cason {our son} would eat them. But it seems that right now he would rather feed them to our dog than put them in his mouth. So, what’s a mom to do with a pint of blueberries her son won’t eat? Well, you could make blueberry pancakes {typical} or blueberry muffins {also typical}. Or, you could be super fun and create a yummy Blueberry Lemon Scone with a Lemon Glaze!!! Doesn’t that just sound more appetizing then plain old blueberry pancakes? 🙂 Well, believe me, these Blueberry Lemon Scones are rockin’ and are the perfect “grab and go” breakfast! But let me warn you, you may want to make a double batch because these things will be gone fast! 🙂

How to Make Blueberry Lemon Scones

To get started, Preheat the oven to 400º. In a bowl, combine the 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.

A measuring cup of whole wheat flour


Use a pastry blender, or two knives, to cut 6 Tablespoons of unsalted {chilled} butter until it resembles small peas and add the butter to flour mixture.

Next, stir in the 1 cup of fresh blueberries to flour mixture.

In a small bowl, mix together the 1 egg and 1 cup of lemon flavored greek yogurt.

Add the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.{mixture will still be crumbly}

    1. hey angelica, no i used full fat. they increase the sugar content on nonfat items so I always use the regular version. 🙂

  1. I have been loving these scones! I’ve made them twice and they’re great. I had a friend visiting last weekend, though, and she’s vegan, so I used this recipe. Good, too!

    I’ve been meaning to make scones for awhile. They are a guilty pleasure of mine when I brunch but they usually pack about 400-600 calories YIKES!

    1. We all have our guilty pleasures. I think they are okay to have in moderation. 🙂 Hope you enjoy Reba!

  12. This looks wonderful! I hope you will come share at this week’s From the Farm Blog Hop hosted by 6 great blogs! http://www.fresh-eggs-daily.com/2013/06/from-farm-blog-hop-39.html
