This post is part of my partnership with Grapes from California. I hope you enjoy it!
With the holiday season upon us, I couldn’t help but create a delectable scone recipe using some of the wonderful flavors of the season. Grapes from California, in particular, were an easy choice. They’re in season right now, and they’re an ideal healthy mix-in because they give baked goods a boost of added flavor, texture, and nutrition. Pecans just scream fall and white chocolate chips were a no-brainer. I mean, we needed a little chocolate in there, right? Right!
These scones are the perfect treat for a relaxing holiday brunch with family and friends. They’re a well-balanced combination of wholesome rolled oats, grapes, and pecans with sweet white chocolate chips for a subtle dessert-like touch. Your guests and loved ones are guaranteed to enjoy this special recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1.25 cups rolled oats
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 8 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 cup red grapes from California, cut in half
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup white chocolate morsels + extra for drizzling
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Combine above ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and transfer the dough onto it. Form dough into a large disk, approximately 3/4 inch thick. Then, cut it into 8 pieces with a large knife.
Bake scones for 10-12 minutes or until top is lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Melt additional white chocolate morsels in the microwave and pour into a Ziplock bag with a corner snipped off (or a pastry bag). Drizzle melted chocolate over scones and then serve.
Recipe makes 8 scones.
