    Summertime means incorporating fresh berries in all my recipes, and these raspberry scones check all the boxes as they are a healthy, sweet, and slightly tart way to kickstart a summer morning.

    • Whole Wheat Raspberry Scones

    I love baking with fruit in the summer because it adds this lightness to sometimes heavy baked goods. We all love a good comforting scone out of the oven, but when it's summer and is already getting warm by 9 AM, the refreshing kick of raspberries in these scones is sure to satisfy.

    Why Whole Wheat?

    The whole wheat flour in these scones gives a nutty flavor and texture that pairs well with the berries. There are also many health benefits to baking with whole wheat flour.

    Whole wheat flour is rich in vitamins compared to regular white flour, including vitamin B and folate, which are important to healthy cell growth, especially during pregnancy.

    It is also higher in iron, calcium, fiber, and protein, with lower amounts of carbs compared to white flour, making it a more satiating option that will keep you feeling full for longer.

    Tips to Make Whole Wheat Raspberry Scones

    Think you’re ready to give the recipe a try? Keep these additional tips and tricks in mind to ensure you nail it.

    • Making sure your batter is properly hydrated with whole wheat flour is important. If you want to yield a softer and more moist scone, try letting your batter rest for 10 minutes before baking.
    • This recipe uses a 50/50 mix of white and whole wheat flour. The reason for this is that it makes fluffier scones than if you had used only whole wheat, which tends to be a bit denser. Whole wheat flour and white flour are interchangeable, so if you want to make this recipe using only whole wheat flour, substitute the all-purpose flour for wheat and an extra two teaspoons of hot water.
    • On the other hand, if you don't have whole wheat flour, you can easily make this recipe with just 2 cups of all-purpose white flour.

    Serving Suggestions

    These scones are great as a quick breakfast or snack, but you could add them to a breakfast spread with other dishes like eggs, bacon, fruit, etc. I like to serve them alongside my Spinach and Cheese Crustless Quiche for both a sweet and savory option at the brunch table.
