Adapted from Cookin Canuck
I made these scones when we were up at my parents’ place last time. We didn’t coordinate very well on who was bringing what and found ourselves with an over-abundance of fresh strawberries. So I was tasked with using up some of the strawberries.
I debated over several berry recipes, but settled on these healthy scones. I loved the taste of oats in these scones and the heart-healthy fiber they contribute. The oats are ground before they go in the scones to make a sort of oatmeal flour. They are still perfectly moist, tender, and wonderful. The ginger adds a nice little zing of flavor.
