Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 40 min
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1 cup white whole wheat flour; 3 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon table salt; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1 teaspoon ginger; 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg; 1/4 cup granulated sugar; 6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into little pieces; 1 – 2 cups peeled, pitted & chopped peaches (for 2 cups, I used about 3 peaches); 1/3 cup toasted, chopped pecans; 1 egg; 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt; 1/4 cup nonfat or low fat milk; 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract; 2 tablespoons coarse sugar; 1/4 cup powdered sugar; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; 2 Tablespoons milk; 3 oz white chocolate, melted

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into little pieces
1 – 2 cups peeled, pitted & chopped peaches (for 2 cups, I used about 3 peaches)
1/3 cup toasted, chopped pecans
1 egg
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup nonfat or low fat milk
2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
2 tablespoons coarse sugar

For the drizzle:

1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 Tablespoons milk
3 oz white chocolate, melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. Cut the butter into little slivers and sprinkle over the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, two knives or your fingers (I prefer to use my fingers), mix the butter into the flour mixture until it is small and crumbly and no large bits of butter remain. Add the peaches and pecans and toss to coat.
In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, milk and vanilla until well mixed. Gently fold the wet egg mixture into the dry mixture in the larger bowl until the batter starts to stick together. It still might look like it’s impossible to ever get it to stick together–that’s okay.
Dump the batter out onto the baking sheet and form it into a large circle about 1/2 – 3/4 inch thick. Somehow it all seems to come together when you do this.
Bake at 400 F for 15 – 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry.
While the scones are baking, make the drizzle: in a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Melt the white chocolate (in the microwave or over a double boiler) and whisk it into the powdered sugar mixture.
When the scones are done, let them cool slightly, then drizzle with the white chocolate glaze. Let the glaze set, then enjoy!
