We all love a baked treat from time to time, even though we know we really shouldn’t have them too often. This is because baking often involves using lots of sugar, which really isn’t great for our health. If you do feel like making something tasty, homemade is best. This way you can control how much salt, fat (butter) and sugar is added.
Baking with ingredients like plain yoghurt and buttermilk is a great alternative when you want to reduce sugar and fat. These ingredients also give baking, like these scones a soft texture. Adding fruit or serving baked goods with fruit is a tasty, healthier way to add sweetness. Choose low salt, low sugar and low fat options to serve with the scones. Fruit also adds vitamins, minerals and fibre, so it is more than just sweetness or empty calories. Wholegrain flours also add fibre and are less processed. So, with that in mind, check out these delicious yoghurt scones.
