1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup rolled oats
-
¼ cup sugar or sugar substitute equivalent to 1/4 cup sugar (see Tip)
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ cup cold butter, cut into pieces

Description
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper; set aside. Place toasted flaxseeds in a spice grinder and pulse until ground to a fine powder.
-
In a medium bowl, combine ground flaxseeds, flour, the 1/2 cup oats, the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.
-
In a bowl, slightly beat egg white; stir in yogurt. Gently fold in berries. Add berry mixture all at once to flour mixture. With a fork, stir just until moistened.
-
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll dough into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 12 wedges.
-
Place wedges 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops of scones with milk. If desired, sprinkle lightly with additional oats and/or flaxseeds. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
