Protein Blueberry Scones are a super tasty and healthy snack, breakfast or post-workout treat. Healthy blueberry scones are high protein, low sugar, low fat and low calorie too; Better than Starbucks!

Everyone loves those Starbucks blueberry scones, but not a huge fan of the high fat content in there. Or any of the added sugar in a regular scones recipe.

This healthier blueberry scones recipe is packed with protein and whole grains and has no added sugar either. Certainly a better option to satisfy the cravings.

Tips for making High Protein Blueberry Scones

This recipe for high protein blueberry scones is super easy, but here’s some pointers to get it right.

Mix all dry ingredients first (flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder).
Then add yogurt.
Use cold yogurt so that the dough is cold and rises well.
Add all yogurt at once and mix.

Mix the dough to form large crumbs.
Don’t over-mix the dough or over-knead or it will get too warm and make dense scones.

Add blueberries and use hands to bring dough together.
Transfer to parchment lined baking sheet
Shape into circular disk.
Don’t roll dough too thin or thick; Just about 1”.

Place in fridge 20 minutes to chill.
This really helps in the baking.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut scones.
Don’t shape with hands. You will work the dough too much and they won’t be light and crumbly anymore.

Brush tops with almond milk so they get brown when baking.
Don’t let dough sit out for too long; Work quickly; You don’t want the dough to get warm and hard to handle.
Bake 15-18 minutes at 350 until golden brown outside.

To Store Fresh Blueberry Breakfast Scones

Fresh blueberry breakfast scones can be stored on the counter, in the fridge on in the freezer (make sure the cool down first).

To store, wrap fresh blueberry protein scones individually in plastic wrap and place in airtight container on countertop 1-2 days, or in the fridge 3-4 days.

For a freezer friendly option, wrap healthier blueberry scones in plastic wrap, place in zipper bag and freeze up to 2 months.

To reheat, thaw frozen gluten free blueberry scones to room temperature and reheat in 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes or warm in the microwave.

Alternatives for Healthy Blueberry Scones with Greek Yogurt

I used the ingredients list above to make these healthy blueberry scones, but here’s some alternate ingredients you can try to fit your needs.

Whole Wheat Pastry Flour: All purpose flour or 1:1 gluten free baking flour in the same amount by weight not cups.

Unflavored Protein Powder: More Plain flour, but reduce the amount of yogurt to 1 cup
1:1 Zero Calorie Sugar Replacement: Regular sugar (this won’t be sugar free though, and also higher in calories)
Unsweetened Greek Yogurt: Vanilla greek yogurt, but use the lower fat and lower sugar option.
You could try coconut yogurt.

Make Fresh Blueberry Protein Powder Scones Vegan!

I haven’t tried it myself, but you can use Coconut yogurt and plant-based protein powder to make these fresh blueberry scones Vegan; I also recommend adding in some stevia or other sweetener into the dough to make it a bit sweeter.
