Low-Fat Blueberry Scones (Using Heart Healthy Bisquick Mix)

"Tender little scones that mix together in a snap using Bisquick Mix. Rather than kneading the sticky dough like traditional scone recipes, I use a cookie scoop to portion out eight scones. If you use Heart-Healthy Bisquick, each scone has about 60 calories and 1 G. fat. The nutrition info shows higher values because REGULAR Bisquick is the only product in the current database."

directions

  • NOTE: I make these scones using the "Bisquick Heart Healthy" lower fat product, but the nutrition content stated is for Standard Bisquick.
  • In a large bowl, gently toss Bisquick Mix, sugar and blueberries. If you have a fresh lemon, you can also add 1 t. lemon ZEST for a great flavor boost. Set aside dry mixture.
  • In a 1 cup measure, whisk milk and egg together.
  • Pour liquids into Bisquick bowl and use a fork to mix things together gently. Use a large cookie scoop to portion out 8 dollops of dough onto parchment paper.
  • Use wet fingers to flatten each scone slightly.
  • Bake 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until edges are browning.
  • Glaze: Mix lemon juice with Confectioners Sugar to achieve a thin consistency. Drizzle over cooled scones.
  • NOTE: Due to low fat content, these probably won't freeze very well, so make them and eat them!

  1. I found this recipe made the scones extremely dry - both stirring them and then after baking. Since I use the reduced fat Bisquick, next time I think I'll just use more sugar, half and half instead of milk and add more for moisture. My hubby liked them better than I did.
     
  2. These are wonderful with any type of berry! Thank you!
     
  3. Very easy scone to make. Quick and tasty. It did have a bit of a biscuit taste rather than a true scone, but I was willing to accept that given how quick they were to make. I made a raspberry icing with confectioners sugar, seedless raspberry jam, and a touch of milk. Delicious!
     
  4. These scones are super easy to make! My mom loves scones and thought the ones I made were yummy. She's even asking me when I'll make more for her. Thank you Cookin' Diva for the great recipe!! Am making it during the weekends again.<br/><br/>Some changes I made:<br/>NO glaze<br/>Orange Zest (as I didn't have any lemons on hand)<br/>1/4 Cup milk (Instead of the mentioned 2 Tablespoon)<br/>Cranberries (coz I had tonnes of frozen ones leftover)
     
  5. These scones were super easy to make and tasted okay, however, I guess I'm the odd one out because I found them to be on the dry side. I also had to double the amount of lemon juice to make the glaze a drizzling consistency. I'm used to the blueberry scones from the bakery I go to and they are very moist. I use Bisquick Heart Smart all the time and was a little disappointed at the outcome.

Tweaks

  1. These were really good. I used orange zest and dried cranberries instead of blueberries and lemon zest. They were a little different than normal scones but for that tiny bit of fat you can't complain! I am on a low fat diet and had some brittish friends coming over and wanted to make scones and these hit the spot. Thanks!
