Blackberry Oat Scones
Serves: 6
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend and had great weather like we did here on the east coast! It was sunny and warm with a perfect breeze! The boyfriend and I spent a few (windy) hours on the beach Saturday. I soaked up some sun while he spent most of the time trying to keep the umbrella planted in the sand! It was great to have some relief from the oppressive humidity that we had been having too! I wish all summer days were as nice as Saturday was!
So, I know I have been on a breakfast recipe kick lately with muffins and scones, but these healthy treats (except for the bakery size muffins) are great grab and go eats before my workouts! I pack them in ziplock bags after I make them, so I can throw one in my bag and eat it on my way to lift! I also might eat them at night as a sweet treat or like Saturday, I packed some in our clean eats cooler for the beach! Being under 200 calories, they pack just the right amount of protein and carbs to keep me energized!
So here is another little treat to add to your recipe box…..

Directions
Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with non stick spray. Mix your dry ingredients; oats, almond flour, flax, coconut flour, protein powder, baking powder and baking soda together in a bowl. Add in your egg whites, stevia and almond extract. Mix well. Gently fold in your blackberries. Spread batter, evenly, in one large round circle on the parchment paper. Cut the batter into 6 triangles*. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
*You could also make 6 smaller individual circles, if you prefer. You can form the batter into any shape you’d like!
Serve these warm or cold with a side of greek yogurt and some coconut butter for a healthy “fit” breakfast! Or top one with some whipped fat-free, low sodium ricotta sweetened with stevia for an after dinner treat! Yummy!
Eating one for breakfast! They are packed with berries and flavor!
