Are you tired of sacrificing taste for health when it comes to baked goods? Look no further than these delectable reduced fat Lemon Blueberry Scones. These tasty treats are packed with juicy blueberries and zesty lemon flavor, but with a healthier twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just a few simple substitutions you can have the perfect balance between taste and health with these irresistible scones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"lemon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Traditional scones are like American biscuits with loads of extra fat and sugar. The result is a tender flaky crumb that melts in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I adapted this recipe from one of those little Betty Crocker magazine cookbooks at the checkout of the grocery store. The lemon yogurt helps keep the tender scone texture without the extra fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this recipe reduces the fat, it still uses butter and whipping cream (or half and half). Eliminate or swap those at your own risk. Going too low in fat will likely result in a hard crumbly texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients for Lemon Blueberry Scones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scones do not need any special hard to find ingredients. For full flavor, you do want to choose fresh blueberries and a fresh lemon for the zest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
