Description

These Jam Dot Oat Scones are a delightful twist on classic scones, offering a tender, buttery crumb studded with quick oats and topped with a sweet dollop of fruit jam. Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon tea treat, these scones combine the rustic texture of oats with the comforting flavor of vanilla yogurt and a burst of fruit jam in every bite.

Ingredients

Scones

  • 1½ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled
  • heaping ⅓ cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats

Topping

  • ¾ cup fruit jam (any flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375° F (190° C) and position a rack in the center. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, and granulated sugar until well combined, laying the foundation for the scone dough.
  3. Cut in butter: Add the chilled unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a fork or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles small pebbles; this helps create flaky layers in the scones.
  4. Add yogurt and oats: Stir in the vanilla yogurt until just combined, then fold in the quick cooking oats, ensuring the mixture is evenly incorporated but not overmixed.
  5. Form dough and bake: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Gently flatten each ball into thick disks and arrange them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes until lightly golden.
  6. Create jam wells: Once baking is complete, use the end of a wooden spoon to gently press a small indentation into the center of each warm scone to hold the jam without spilling.
  7. Fill with jam and serve: After cooling slightly on a serving plate for about 5 minutes, spoon 1 tablespoon of your chosen fruit jam into each scone well. Serve the scones warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use vanilla yogurt to add subtle flavor and moisture, but plain yogurt can be substituted if needed.
  • Press the wells gently so as not to break the scone, allowing the jam to sit neatly in the center.
  • Try different fruit jams like raspberry, strawberry, or apricot for variety.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
