Blueberry Oatmeal Scones Recipe
Healthier oatmeal scones made with old fashioned oats and fresh blueberries are such a delicious breakfast, brunch, or tea time treat! My whole family absolutely loves these.
Sunday mornings for us often mean scones from our local bakery. They are delicious, but I can tell they are filled with fat and sugar and not much else. There are also English Scones, that are meant to be served with jam and clotted cream. These, however, are a Scottish style scone. This morning we made our own healthier scones and found they were even tastier! These are crisp on the outside, tender and buttery on the inside, and filled with juicy berries. The oats lend nutritional value and a hearty texture. We will be making these all Summer long. They are quicker and easier than muffins or pancakes too!
Yesterday we headed up the coast to Restoration Oaks Ranch & Blueberry Farm. It’s just about 30 minutes north or Santa Barbara.
We grabbed a couple of pails and started picking, searching for the plumpest, bluest berries.
Blueberry picking is so much for kids and adults. Picking fruit straight from the farm really makes me appreciate the beauty of real food straight from the ground. It’s a great experience for kids, and did I mention the taste? Holy moly, I can’t think of anything that tastes better than sweet juicy summer blueberries off the bush.
With buckets and bellies full with berries we headed home. These blueberries were just beautiful.
While we managed to eat quite a few blueberries by the handful, we saved some for these luscious and healthier oat scones, and I’m so glad we did.

These look delcicious and even more fun that you were able to pick them on your own 🙂
Sonds like the perfect day to me, lovely scones.
Oh my word.. these scones look wholesome… I could have these with zero quilt!!! You are sooo lucky to live near anything berry related.. p.s. I've been on the hunt for old pieces of wood, but I was curious did you use a stain?
I can't wait to try the scone recipe – thanks! I love scones, but the good ones are usually just butterballs.
i've always wanted to stop by that blueberry farm, but it's always been closed. i spoke to victoria and she said y'all were both breaking in the newly opened season–and that you'd make some crazy delicious recipe. true that. you also shot some beautiful photos. it's a wonderful reminder about the simple pleasures in life. i hope to follow suit soon! xoh
I love how your recipes tell a story. Glorious pics…the image of your daughter holding the bucket of blueberries is amazing.
Yes! Summer has arrived. Bring on the blueberries. We love to go up picking. My go-to blueberry recipe is a Blueberry Buckle. Not healthy at all, but oh so delicious…
omg, can i have those delicious looking blueberries like right now?!..lol…your recipes and photos are so fantastic!
P.S.-
Santorini, I did ride up a steep cliffside on that donkey! Didn't try the cactus juice unfortunately, i hadn't even heard of such a thing, LoL

Splenda? U must be not right in your head. Do your research first
Hi Mariana, please be kind here. You are replying to a comment that is 11 years old. The times and research have changed since then. Further, you don’t know this person or their dietary needs. Thank you 🙂
I made these with Irish flour, and used half white and half brown sugar. Made it even healthier, yet delicious.. Used kerrygold butter, as well. Absolutely perfect! Will try it with less sugar next time for an even healthier treat. Thank you for the recipe.
Oh what fun!! These scones look awesome and I agree yummy is right. Look forward to trying these out. Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
They look so delicious! Looking forward to more recipes.

Want to know a secret? I've never had a blueberry muffin. I have a day off tomorrow, so this recipe might be changing that 😀
This is so crazy! I was just wanting to make scones but kept thinking about how they can be a bit “loaded” in terms of calories and fat and I can't seem to just eat one at a time. LOL! So, this is perfect timing and I can't wait to try these. Thanks for sharing them at the Block Party!

P.S. Your pics are gorgeous…as are your sweet girls! 🙂
just LOVE your pics, all adorable!
Hi!I was searching for a healthy alternative to blueberry scones and came across your recipe. I had everything but parchment paper (I used a stone baking sheet).They were so good! How am I going to just eat one??? Thanks for the great recipe!
I'm getting so hungry reading your post! Love oat scones (been using a Martha recipe) and your fresh blueberries are a perfect add.
This was the breakfast of one of the most special days of my life: Graduation. Because of a disease something normal as graduating from high-school was a long and difficult road for me, and your wonderful recipe was a delicious part of the celebration. Thank you!

I made these with whole wheat flour and agave syrup. They were delicious!
Looks super yummy!

I blended the oats until very fine, rubbed in the butter cold, replaced white with brown sugar, added 60g sour cream to the milk and added 1/4 cup raisins. My toddler loved it! Thks for this healthy recipe!
I made these exactly as the recipe says and they were really good! Just like the ones I get from the bakery only healthier. I will make them again and replace the butter with a prune puree as I usually do. Thank you!
I made these for my playgroup this morning. Very delicious! I shared some with my daughter (age 8 months) and she couldn't get enough 🙂 Thanks for a great recipe!
These were so good. I find scones to be a little dry and tossed in 1/4 of applesauce, pecans and some cinnamon. Delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I’ve used this recipe so many times over the years I figured it was time for a comment… This is the best scone recipe I have ever made!!!! It is the only recipe I will make now. These have brought joy to my family, new moms, and houseguests for years! I have made it with a million other fruits in the same ratios. Our favorites, including the blueberry, are strawberry with orange zest (amazing) and apple with cinnamon. Just watch the consistency, as different fruits might need a little more flour. Thank you for this amazing recipe!!!!
These were absolutely delicious! Will definitely be making more!
