Delicious Greek Yogurt Blueberry Scones drizzled with lemon glaze on a plate.

Greek Yogurt Blueberry Scones

Let me tell ya, Greek Yogurt Blueberry Scones have actually saved my weekend mornings more times than I can count. You know when you want something “bakery cute,” but stores either have dry hockey pucks or there’s a crazy line or whatever your pet peeve is? Yep, I’ve been there.

These scones? Soft, a little tangy, bursting with blueberries, and about a million times better when you make them yourself. Not even exaggerating (okay, maybe a little). If you’ve got a spoon and a bowl, you’re good to go.

What Makes Greek Yogurt Blueberry Scones Special

So, why are Greek Yogurt Blueberry Scones kind of a big deal at my house? For starters, the Greek yogurt keeps them super moist. Not that chalky scone texture you dread. There’s something about that creamy tang that just works with blueberries, too. I used to struggle making scones that didn’t come out crumbly and weird. Then I tossed out the fancy bakery ideas and went simple. Yogurt. Fruit. Done.

Another thing? You’re not left feeling like you ate a stick of butter. Greek yogurt swaps in for a good chunk of the fat. Maybe not health food (let’s be honest), but it feels lighter than usual. The dough doesn’t get overworked. Messy hands, sure, but that’s where the magic happens. And nobody’s said no to warm scones at my kitchen table, ever. Just trust the process and don’t worry if it looks a bit, uh, rustic before baking.

“Best scones I’ve ever made at home. My kids devoured them! They’re not too sweet, just right. Five stars, hands down.” — Carla M.

 

Greek Yogurt Blueberry Scones

Ingredients You’ll Need for Success

If you want to jump right in, here’s what you need. Promise, it’s all easy-to-find stuff:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (nothing fancy)
  • 1/3 cup sugar (sometimes I use a bit less, if the blueberries are super sweet)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed or grated, either’s fine)
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (the plain, full-fat kinda works best)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (frozen works, but don’t thaw, and expect more purple dough)

See? Simple. You could almost do it from memory.

Directions (You’ve Got This)

Okay, here’s how it comes together if you’re like me and don’t want to scroll forever:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet with parchment if you’ve got it.
  2. Grab a big bowl. Toss in flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix.
  3. Throw in the cold butter. Use your fingers to smush it all together until it looks kinda sandy. Don’t stress about clumps.
  4. In a smaller bowl, mix up the Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla. Pour this wet stuff into the flour mix.
  5. Gently, gently fold in the blueberries. Be direct, but don’t obliterate ‘em.
  6. Plop dough onto a floured surface. Pat it into a circle, about 1 inch thick. Use a knife to cut into 8 wedges (like a pizza).
  7. Bake for 16-18 minutes. Tops should look pretty golden. Let them cool for a sec on the pan. Warm scones are happiness.

Pop one open, slap some butter on, and it’s just… yes.

Easy Serving Suggestions

Want to fancy ‘em up a little? Or just eat ‘em plain and simple? Check these out:

  • Split scones and spread with butter or a swipe of lemon curd for extra zing.
  • Dunk in your morning coffee or hot tea. Instant mood boost.
  • Toss a few extra berries on top right before serving. Looks—and tastes—pretty stellar.

You could even take them on road trips or wrap up as a last-minute homemade gift. Freakin’ genius, really.

  • Almond Flour Scones

    Almond Flour Scones are basically my “I forgot to bake and now someone’s coming over for coffee” cheat code. You know that feeling when you want to serve something homemade, but you also want it to be, well, kinda healthy? Yeah, me too. That’s when I drag out my bag of almond flour and basically magic up a batch of these beauties. They’re honestly so easy, you almost feel like you’re getting away with something. No one has to know you made them while the kettle’s heating.   Almond Flour Scones: Why I’m Obsessed Okay, let me level with you. I’ve made more scone recipes than I can count—some with enough butter to terrify my doctor—and yet, almond flour scones keep sneaking back into my kitchen lineup. For starters, almond flour just makes them crazy tender. We’re talking soft, ever-so-slightly nutty, and not dry at all. Plus, they don’t taste “grain-free” (you know that weird sandy thing some healthy recipes have? Gone). They’re super quick too. Like, measure, mix, plop onto a baking sheet, and done. Oh, and if you ask me, they turn out way fancier than the level of effort required. And let’s talk aroma—the scent while these bake will have people drifting into your kitchen, guaranteed. Seriously, almond flour scones could win awards just on fragrance. “I’m always looking for gluten-free bakes that don’t taste weird. These are PERFECT. Moist and taste just like the real deal. They freeze great too!” – Anna, actual almond flour scone lover     Key Ingredients for Almond Flour Scones Let’s keep this simple. You literally need stuff you probably already have hanging around, if you do any gluten-free or lower-carb baking. Almond flour: Make sure it’s finely ground (not almond meal). The texture matters. Baking powder: Helps the scones puff up a bit. Don’t skip! Eggs: For binding everything together. If you want extra richness, add an extra yolk (yep, I do sometimes). Butter: Cold is best. This gets you those lovely soft scone insides. Sweetener: Sugar, honey, or a sugar replacement all work here. Use what you like. Add-ins: Think dried fruit, chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon. These scones are not picky. I mean, if you want to get fancy, add lemon zest or a handful of berries, but honestly? Even plain, almond flour scones are pretty epic. How to Make Almond Flour Scones (Short Version: It’s Actually Easy) If you can stir, you can make these. Here’s the breakdown: First, mix your dry stuff—almond flour, baking powder, and whatever sweetener you’re using. Next, drop in the cold butter and squish it in with your fingers (messy, but also kinda fun, I won’t lie). Once it looks like crumbs, add the eggs and any extras. Stir it up until just blended. Now, don’t overthink it. Scoop your dough onto a parchment-lined tray. Shape it quickly—don’t fuss. Slice into wedges (or make little mounds if you’re lazy, I won’t tell). Bake around 20 minutes at 350°F until they’re just golden. Once they’re out, resist the urge to eat one right away. Let them cool. (Trust me, they hold together better if you wait.) Serving Suggestions So, almond flour scones are basically a blank canvas for whatever you’re in the mood for: Slather with jam or nut butter for a classic vibe. Pair with coffee, tea, or even a glass of icy almond milk. Go wild with a drizzle of honey and a pat of butter for five-star restaurant feels. If you’re feeling brave, split them open and fill with berries and whipped cream. Real talk: breakfast, snack, or dessert—these fit anywhere. Common Questions Why almond flour instead of regular flour? I like the flavor and the softer texture, plus it’s gluten-free and just a bit healthier (for my conscience at least). Do almond flour scones taste sweet? They’re lightly sweet, but not dessert-sweet. You control the sugar, so tweak for your taste buds. Can I freeze almond flour scones? Absolutely! Toss ’em in a zip bag. Toast straight from the freezer later. Lazy day win. What if mine are too crumbly? Try another egg or add a spoonful of yogurt next time. Almond flour’s different than wheat flour, so sometimes you gotta play around. Is it easy to swap add-ins? Oh, you bet. Chocolate, fruit, nuts—throw in whatever you love. Just avoid lots of wet add-ins so things don’t get soggy. Ready to Try Almond Flour Scones? Okay, so you don’t have to be a baking superstar to knock out almond flour scones, and nobody’s going to believe you whipped them up last minute. No mixer, barely any mess. If you want to master the almond flour scone life, this quick video walks you through it, or peek at the almond flour scone FAQ for more pointers. Next time you’re stumped for what to serve with afternoon tea or, you know, just feeling snacky, give these a shot. Don’t wait for a special occasion, just go for it. If you do, I promise you’ll be passing this little trick along to every friend who drops by unexpectedly.
