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?

This looks so yummy… and you are making me hungry… I have to give a try for these…
Shashi Charles
Thank you Sharmilla – this would go so well with your jam 🙂
Archana @ Feedingthefoodie
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!
Shashi Charles
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 🙂
Alexis @ Hummusapien
These looks totally amazing. Such a creative use for yogurt! I’ve never tried the apricot flavor, but it sounds fab. That drizzle of honey on top is the perfect addition 🙂
Shashi Charles
Thank You so much Alexis
Yogurt is so fun to bake with – most times 🙂
Nicole @ Work in Sweats Mama
Oh my! These look delicious! I’ll have one of the scones, with the whipped topping and honey please!!
Shashi Charles
Thank you so much Nicole

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
Shashi Charles
Thank you so much! I am not sure if it’s just me, but mangoes have been so so sweet here in GA! x’s

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.
Shashi Charles
Haha – Thanks so much Carly
Andrea
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.
Shashi Charles
Thank you so much Andrea! So glad to have you visit – hoping you come by again 🙂
Bill

I love mango! These scones look amazing. I’ve never made scones at home before which is weird because I love them so much!
Shashi Charles
Thanks so much Ashley – sometimes, i regret making them because I end up eating too many!
Archana @ FeedingTheFoodie
oops, I thought it was a double dose of yogurt. I’ve been thinking about whipping yogurt, maybe thats what I was thinking when I saw that pic!
Shashi Charles
No worries! Though whipped yogurt sounds awesome!

Scones for me any time. Muffins tend to be too big. Anyway, these scones look wonderful! I imagine the flavor is great, too, which of course is the important thing. Great post – thanks.
Shashi Charles
These days I just cannot seem to get enough of scones! Thanks so much John! The flavor was indeed good 🙂

So, are we twins? I love love love using Greek yogurt in my scones and have plans to bake a raspberry version this weekend. High five!
Shashi Charles
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…
wickedgoodkitchen
Shashi, you are an amazing baker! I love the flavor combination you have going on here with the fresh mangoes and apricot yogurt. Just brilliant!
Shashi Charles
Wow Stacy – coming from someone as talented as you are in the kitchen, I am just speechless! Thank you so very much! I am so glad to hear you like this combo 🙂
Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella
Isn’t it funny where we get inspiration from! And I think I’d go for the scones, I adore scones and I think the mango and apricot would be great with some cream 😀
Shashi Charles
Oh yes – cream would definitely enhance any scone! Thank you so much Lorraine
Denise Browning
Shashi: These scones with mangoes, apricots, and yogurt look quite scrumptious…You are so lucky to live far from me otherwise I’d be knocking on your door. 🙂
Shashi Charles
haha Denise! Thank you!
Khushboo Thadani (@KhushbooThadani)
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?)!
Shashi Charles
The blood orange chobani is so so good! Yup that or the peach would work just as well!
Thank you Khushboo 🙂
Putputt @ Putputt Eats
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!
Shashi Charles
Thank you so much!
Nami | Just One Cookbook
Although I cannot eat mango anymore due to allergy, I am still a huge fan of mangoes. These scones look fabulous! Oh I wish I can eat these!!
Shashi Charles
Thank you so much Nami – sorry to hear about your allergy, maybe you could sub the mangoes for peaches? or apricots? or papayas?
Joanne
I could never ever tire of mangoes! Those scones look super tasty!
Shashi Charles
