Who would've thought that making scones would be so easy? Moreover, the scones I made today are actually healthy! I got the Whole Wheat Blueberry Scones recipe from Lori at MadeHealthier.com. If you have never been to this site, you must visit it. It has healthier versions of really good food. Her recipes are simple and require common ingredients. My favorite part of the site is that it really is truly healthy. With other sites that claim to be healthy or light, most of the time, I find that it really isn't. I like that that she doesn't include what isn't necessary. Kudos to her for that.

Ok, now about the scones. This was my first time making scones, but it's not going to be my last. I can assure you that. The scones came out crunchy and crumbly on the outside and so fluffy and moist on the inside. I was surprised because it consisted mostly of 100% whole wheat flour. I just made a few slight changes when I made it, but it's mostly the same. Here is my version of MadeHealthier's Whole Wheat Blueberry Scones. The directions are pretty much the same. I just tweaked some of the ingredients to my liking.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups 100% Whole Wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all purpose white flour
- 1/4 cup nectar agave (natural sweetener)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup lite soy milk
- 4 tbsp butter or butter spread (I used Promise activ Light Spread)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup frozen blueberries

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
2. Add butter to the flour mixture until it has a crumbly texture.
3. Beat the egg and add to the flour mixture. Next add the milk and mix carefully. You do not want to over mix.
4. Carefully fold in the frozen blueberries.
5. Cover your baking pan or sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
6. Scoop out 9 equal portions about 2 inches away from each other.
7. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes.
