Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup low fat plain yogurt
• 1 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
• 1 Tbsp sugar mixed with a dash of cinnamon
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds or other nuts

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix thoroughly. Add berries. In a small bowl, combine yogurt and oil. Add yogurt mixture to dry ingredients.
2. Stir gently to form a soft, sticky dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick round. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar and almonds on top of dough, pressing gently into the dough. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges and arrange on prepared baking sheet. Bake the scones until brown and firm, about 25 minutes.
