Whole Wheat Apple Pecan Scones Recipe (2024)

This is an excellent and healthy recipe. The scones are dense and satisfying. I used one honeycrisp apple and loving having a small scone with my green tea.

Like this recipe for the healthy ingredients.

Nice, healthy, not too sweet. Made these with only whole wheat flour, though, and I'd advise against it as they turned out a little too dry.

I made these scones again with coconut oil instead of butter and they were even better than the original batch!

these were just ok, not worth the bother

Easy, but just fine. Would add minced apple or more apple bites into the dough next time. Got moldy within 2 days.

Really good and pretty easy. Mine were not crumbly as other have suggested. I wish they were more apple-y — could be good with some chopped apples or a ripple of compote mixed in.

I added 2 tsp cinnamon, 1tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp cardamom… delicious! Agree these are healthy, low sugar and very tasty !

Great ingredients but needs more liquid or butter to hold everything together when made with gluten free flour. Very tasty but mine came out very crumbly.

Really nice scones! Made the recipe just as written and they turned out really well - not too sweet and easy. I’d make them again.

Was looking and looking for the vegan whole wheat scone I made last time and couldn’t find it so used this one but did 1.25 whole wheat pastry flour, one egg and butter milk to get the right feel. Did not do apple - added raw cranberries and a bit of almond extract with the egg.

Two small apples or one large. Made in India 7/22

Followed recipe except used 1/2 whole-wheat and 1/2 all purpose flour, needed just a tad more yogurt, and threw in seeds instead of nuts. It was tasty but a bit underwhelming. Nonetheless, it's a good canvas for varied scone flavors and can't wait to try different toppings next time. (If I repeat the recipe, I think I should double the apples, citrus, and toppings.)

Very tasty and hearty, but not a lot of flavor. I couldn't taste the apple at all. I enjoyed the citrus flavor and the addition of oatmeal.

I like this recipe because it is not so sweet. I didn’t have limes so used oranges instead. I also added cinnamon, dried ginger powder and black pepper. I might even add more of those next time.

Made these with 1/2 and 1/2 mix of all-purpose and whole wheat and they turned out great, not too dry. Sprinkled a pinch of vanilla sugar over the top just to give a tiny touch more sweetness and a bit of sparkle. Great with coffee. I made 6 bigger scones and one for breakfast with lemon curd lasted me until lunch.

These were great. A grown up version of “oat cakes” I made for my son when he was 1. More bland than the avg scone for sure, but the oatmeal shines. Ate with a smear of lemon curd and coffee. Fab. Will make again and again

Where's the cinnamon?? Call me cliche, but seems strange to have such a pastry without it. Brushed with egg white wash and sprinkled cinnamon and raw turbinado sugar on top before baking. Used white whole wheat flour instead of regular whole wheat, and 1/4 c nonfat Greek yogurt plus 1/4 c 1% milk. Used two small Gala apples. Texture was perfect scone texture, but I agree with the other reviewer who said you don't really taste the apple. More the lime zest. Pleasant nonetheless.

Used all whole wheat flour and substituted quinoa for the oats due to an allergy. Also subbed a grated pear for the apple as it’s what I had. 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt was more than enough with the pear’s juices to hold the dough together and they turned out wonderful! Sugar sprinkled on top would certainly be nice for those who want more sweetness, but I prefer scones with little sugar.
