Healthy, because
These oatmeal scones are a great source of fiber and should not be missing at any classic English tea party! On top of that, the scones provide a fifth of the daily requirement of magnesium, immune-strengthening zinc and the skin vitamin niacin.
Even smarter
If you are watching your calories, prepare the oatmeal scones with low-fat yogurt (1.5% fat) or skim milk yogurt (0.1-0.3% fat). When serving the scones, cut them in half horizontally for serving and spread with cream cheese and jam as desired.
