Healthy Cranberry Scones

Any dessert that comes with the prefix ‘healthy’ is a game changer in every party. I bet Healthy Cranberry Scones is one of them. We ladies are health conscious yet foodies. To balance both of it, we have a tendency to fill our tummy with something yummy which is also healthy. And, dessert is an extraordinary exception which we still crave for, even though we have had enough of it. More you eat, the more you crave for it!

How about something crispy and sugary outside, soft and tender inside? How about something that can be served as a dessert as well as a snack? Two in one – that is the distinctiveness of these Healthy Cranberry Scones.

We all love cranberry. But, did you know that half cup of cranberries contains only 25 calories. What? You heard that right. It is also helpful in developing immunity function and helps in decreased blood pressure. You also get vitamin K, vitamin C and vitamin A.

Where there is wheat, there is health. I have heard this from my childhood and holds to be true.

I have also used Ossoro’s cranberry essence along with the fresh cranberries. So addicted to Ossoro’s cranberry essence that my baking is incomplete without using their essence. Their easy to use mantra always works for me. Take a look at the procedure on how to make these healthy cranberry scones.
