Course : Scones
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 8
 

Ingredients:

8 ounces cherry-vanilla fat-free yogurt
1 cup steel-cut irish oats
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons margarine -- melted
2 1/2 teaspoons maple flavoring
1 large egg -- lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup raisins
1 spray nonstick cooking spray
 

Preparation:

1. Reserve 2 tablespoons yogurt in a bowl; cover and chill. 2. Pour remaining yogurt into a medium bowl; stir in oats and syrup. Cover and chill 8 hours, stirring occasionally. Add margarine, maple flavoring, and egg; stir well. Combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add raisins; toss well. Add oat mixture to dry ingredients, stirring just until moist. 3. Preheat oven to 400 oF. 4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; with floured hands, knead lightly 4 or 5 times. Pat dough into a 7-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut dough into 8 wedges, cutting into, but not through, dough (do not separate wedges). Brush reserved 2 tablespoons yogurt over dough. 5. Bake at 400 oF for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Note: Substitute 1 cup regular oats for steel-cut oats, if desired. When using regular oats, it is not necessary to cover and chill 8 hours.
