Instructions: A scone is a richer, fancier version of a biscuit. These lightly crunchy scones use dried fruit and just a bit of ginger to spice them up without adding much fat (a scone contains only about 6 grams.)

Save time in the morning by mixing together the dry ingredients for the scones the night before. Oatmeal replaces some of the flour in this recipe, adding a mildly nutty flavor and some extra fiber. The next morning, it will take just a few minutes to add the remaining ingredients, mix and bake.

Scones taste best served warm. Accompany them with chocolate milk for the kids and cappuccino for the grown-ups. For a fuller meal, add seasonal fruit and yogurt or a light salad.
