Measure the milk in a jug and make up to 300ml with water. Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla and the 2 tsp oil. Mix the flour, seeds and oats then blitz in a food processor to make the mix as fine as you can. Stir in the baking powder.
• Pour in the liquid, then stir in with the blade of a knife until you have a very wet batter like dough. Spoon evenly into the ramekins then bake on a baking sheet for 20 mins until risen - they don't have to be golden but should feel firm. Cool for a few mins then run a knife round the inside of the ramekins to loosen the scones then carefully ease out.
• The scones can be eaten immediately or cooled and stored for later. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, this recipe can be used for two people over two meals, use two scones straight away split in half and served topped with half the yogurt and two portions of the berries. Cool and pack the remainder to eat on another day on the plan.

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the diced cream cheese and pecans (if using), mixing to distribute them evenly. In a measuring cup, use a fork to beat the maple syrup, milk and the egg until combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Use a fork to mix the wet and dry together until the dough starts to come together - don't overmix. Flour your hands and gather the dough then divide it into 2 equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, gently shape each half of the dough into a disk that is about 1 1/4 inches tall - you don't want to compress the dough too much.

• 4. Add all the wet ingredients to the dry and throw in the berries at this time. Work quickly then knead a little bit in the bowl just to make a nice ball.
