INGREDIENT NOTES:

LOW-FAT COTTAGE CHEESE:

  • Use the low-fat version of cottage cheese to prepare WW-friendly scones. It helps to add the moisture content and protein without the extra fat. Cottage cheese blends perfectly in the batter and also aids in providing the texture and shape.

APPLES:

  • Choose the firm apple, so it holds properly in baking. It also adds a natural sweet taste and decreases the amount of extra sugar in the scones. Make the apples into small dice so they get divided equally in the batter.

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

  • This flour helps to provide the structure and provides light crumbs in these scones. It also blends smoothly with the batter, and it is the simple and easy choice for baking.

SUGAR-FREE SWEETENER:

  • Sugar-free sweeteners like Erythritol or Monk fruit are used to add the sweet taste to these scones. It blends with the batter smoothly like regular sugar and helps in lightly browning the scones. This sweetener also fixes the tartness of apples.

CINNAMON:

  • Cinnamon is used to provide the apple-pie aroma in these scones. This truly complements the natural sweet taste of apple and also provides the warmth in these scones.
