And sometimes, the smallest quantities of ingredients pack a humongous taste-punch!

Mangoes usually seem to have a very short season here in Georgia, but this year, I cannot seem to avoid them – ripe, succulent, alluringly aromatic mangoes keep falling off grocery store bins when I happen to walk by!

One of my favorite snacks is a cubed up mango in an apricot Chobani – and this is what led to these scones…

Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 well beaten egg
1/2 a mango cubed
1 and a half 6oz containers of apricot Chobani (can sub peach if you have trouble finding apricot)

Directions:
Set the oven to preheat to 400 degrees, while the oven is getting nice and toasty; mix the flour, oats, sugar, baking pwder, baking soda and salt with a spoon. Then gently mix in the beaten egg, mango cubes, and 1 container of chobani, if the resulting dough is crumbly and dry, add half of another container of chobani. The dough should be slightly wet – and sticky. Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface (I put some oil on my hands to keep things from getting too messy) and roll it out till about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch high. Using a pizza cutter, cut this into 4 or 8 parts (depending on your preference), then place these on a baking tray that has been lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or till golden brown.
Even though only half a mango was used, these scones oozed mango flavoring! We poured honey and whipped cream over ours and as I was face planting into mine…I couldn’t help but wonder how these flavors would taste in muffin form….

Thank you for reading and I am curious – if the choice was yours, would you have a mango/apricot scone or muffin?

    oh scones for sure – I can’t get excited about muffins. That last pic of the scone topped with yogurt is too much to handle. Funnily, I was picking up chobani at the store yday and did a double take when I saw apricot. Quickly, I replaced a few of my usual flavors with apricot!

      That apricot chobani is the BOMB – so glad you grabbed some.
      Thank you for your kind compliments and answer. I have to try a peanut butter scone next 🙂
      Oh, and thats not yogurt – it’s cinamon flavored whipped cream on my daughters scone 🙂

    These look so great! I’m sure the mango added a lovely summery touch. And they’re so healthy too, I would definitely love to have on of these scones for breakfast! x

    Mangoes one of my all time favorite fruits. When they’re perfectly ripe they’re so sweet and messy and delicious. I’m not really a fan of muffins, but these scones look great. The color is perfect–that’s what I think is missing with muffins, they’re all basically identical but scones have character.

    I’m definitely down for a muffin or scone. Either sound good to me. Because I don’t eat scones very much that would be the one I’d eat first. Very good looking scone! Visiting from SITS.

      High five back atchya! Yogurt helps make scones somewhat healthy eh?
      OOh cannot wait to see how your raspberry ones come out! I got some rhubarb and was gonna try using them in scones…

    Scones are one of those baked goods which seem much harder than the reality- or at least you make them seem manageable :)! I have some Chobani pots in the fridge I may have to try a variation of these scones (perehaps blood orange or peach?)!

    Scone, hands down! 🙂 I only like the tops of muffins, whereas I love eeeeverything about scones. Served with clotted cream and jam, there is no better way to start my day. I’ll have to try these yogurt ones…what a genius idea!
