Cherry, chocolate chip oat scones


It's snowing here (again) and the kids are running around in the neighborhood with their friends. I decided to make something warm for them when they invariably return home, cold and ravenous.

Here's my very easy recipe for scones that everyone will love!

2-1/4 C. Bisquick mix
3/4 C. quick oats
1/2 C. low-fat milk
1 large egg
1 Tbs. vanilla
1/4 C. sugar
1/2 C. semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 C. dried cherries or cranberries

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together.

Line a cookie sheet with a silpat mat or use parchment paper that is sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

Place about 3/4 C. balls of scone mixture onto the cookie sheet, leaving about 2" between scones.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until scones are golden brown.

This recipe makes about 10 scones.

Option- cinnamon spiced scones. Omit chocolate chips and cherries and add 1 Tbs. of cinnamon and 1 tsp. of either apple pie or pumpkin pie spice and bake as directed. These are delicious also.
