Fabulous Fig Scones

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 cup diced fresh figs

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly sprinkle flour over paper.

Whisk flour, oats, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk oil and egg together in a separate bowl until smooth; add honey and mix well. Mix oil mixture into flour mixture just until batter is moistened. Sprinkle sugar over figs in a bowl and toss to coat; fold into batter.

Transfer batter to the middle of the prepared baking sheet and form into a 7-inch circle.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Score the batter into 8 sections and continue baking until scones are cooked through and lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes more. Cut into 8 scones and slide every other scone back from the circle to allow cooling.
