Tasty Eats by Erin: Strawberry Scones (better for you!)

Things are getting even busier in our house so I am trying to fill up my freezer with some healthy real food breakfasts and snacks so I can offer my kids real food options even when I don't have anything freshly made.

These scones made as directed are not very sweet. My kids still LOVED them and so did my husband. If you want a sweeter version, increase the syrup and/or add a few drops of stevia. You could also frost with some other icing to sweeten them up. I like that these aren't super sweet so I can give them to the kids for breakfast with fruit or put in a lunchbox as a healthy treat.

Ingredients:

Scones:
1 1/2 cups white wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
dash of salt
2 Tbsp butter, cold, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (drain off any liquid)
3 Tbsp real maple syrup
4 Tbsp whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 - 1 cup diced strawberries

Optional glaze:
1 Tbsp milk
2 tsp real maple syrup

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt and combine well! Cut the butter pieces into the dry mixture with the back of a fork (I used clean hands to ensure it was well combined). Add the greek yogurt, syrup, whole milk and vanilla and stir to combine. Fold in the diced strawberries. Pour the batter (it is thick) onto the parchment and form into a large circle. Mix the maple syrup and milk and brush onto the scones. Cut the circle with a pizza cutter or sharp knife into 8-16 pieces depending on the size desired. Cook for 17 minutes or until desired doneness.
