Ingredients

Dough:

  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons nonfat milk, divided
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee crystals
  • 8 1/4 teaspoons maple syrup, divided
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (measured correctly)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled & cubed
  • 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut

Glaze:

  • 1 teaspoon nonfat milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F, and lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, 10 teaspoons of milk, instant coffee, 8 teaspoons of maple syrup, and vanilla until coffee crystals are dissolved.
  3. Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut.
  5. Shape and bake: Drop the dough onto the baking sheet, flatten slightly, brush with glaze, and bake at 425°F for 12-14 minutes or until golden.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, add an additional 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of instant coffee crystals.
