Cranberry Pistachio Scones (gluten free, egg free)

Sunday 15 December 2013


More cranberry and pistachio things for Christmas! May not be very creative but there IS a reason why this combination is so popular. These scones are gluten and egg free plus they are low fat because we use greek yogurt instead of butter here! 


But to be honest, even though these scones are delicious, the texture is kinda bun-like. It's more like a scone bun than a scone?? I'm not sure if I should reduce the greek yogurt or add more baking soda or flour :/ Anyway, some of you want the recipe so here it is :) 


Drizzled mine with plain non fat no sugar yogurt!


So deeeelicious. 

What you'll need
1 and 1/4 cup gluten free flour blend
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon 
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1/2 cup fresh cranberries
1/4 cup shelled pistachio

How to 
1. Soak your shelled pistachios in hot water for 15-20min. 
2. Meanwhile, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon together. Than add in the honey and greek yogurt. combine everything together well. 
Preheat oven to 190C
3. Rub the skins off the pistachio to reveal the green insides. Now fold cranberries and pistachios into the scone dough. 
4. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop 5 balls of dough out onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. ((They should be bigger than the ice cream scoop size. The scoop just makes it easier to get equal amounts of dough!))
5. Bake the scones for 20 min and then cool before eating. I left mine in the (turned off) oven to brown a bit longer. They taste great on their own but you can eat them with some breakfast spreads too!

Enjoy!
