Passion Fruit & Oat Scones

Served warm out of the oven, these Passion Fruit & Oat scones make a guilt free treat !

Passion fruit (Granadilla) is readily available here and is most often used to make a refreshing drink. In fact, it’s popular on most restaurant menu’s and is delicious when served chilled (which is not always possible with a fluctuating power supply !)

I have used Passion Fruit in this recipe to make a healthy version of scones. This recipe is relatively fat and sugar free – depending on which type of yoghurt you choose to use.

You can freeze these scones, use them as lunchbox fillers or serve them for breakfast or tea. They are great served warm with a little butter and jam too, if you prefer them a little sweeter.


Passion Fruit & Oat Scones

1 cup Flour
½ cup Bran
1 cup rolled Oats
1 cup Passion Fruit (Granadilla) Yoghurt
½ cup Skim Milk
2 tbsp Granadilla Pulp or Pumpkin Seeds (optional)
2 tsp Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl & mix gently to blend. Spoon into muffin tins that have been sprayed with non-stick spray and bake at 190’C/375’F/Gas Mark 5 for +- 30 minutes until done. This recipe makes 12 scones.
