CRANBERRY PECAN SCONES
This recipe is delicious and healthful- it's half whole grains, although you'd never guess it! I make the oat flour by grinding up oatmeal or instant oatmeal. You could also substitute whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour. You can use fresh or frozen cranberries for this recipe.
