I have been craving scones lately, but did not want a treat high in fat or calories. I found this Weight Watcher's recipe for scones, and decided to use it as a base for an espresso flavored scone. They turned out to be a tasty breakfast treat. The scones were more soft and chewy than a typical scone because they were low fat, but they were full of flavor. It was hard to resist having more than one. I am going to have to play with the base recipe and create some more flavor combinations. Any suggestions?Espresso Chocolate Chip Scones
2/3 cup quick oats
1/3 cup Reduced Fat Bisquick
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tsp instant espresso powder (use more if stronger taste is desired)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Mix all the ingredients. Pour into a pie plate and bake at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.

OOOH, those look divine.
How about a flavor-combination of hazelnut and dark chocolate?
Oooh, excellent idea! Coffee & chocolate is one of my favourite flavour combinations.
I've been looking for a good scone recipe... and OMG this one could be vegan (with soymilk)! Thanks so much!!!
yum! perfect for a lazy sunday breakfast!
Those look delish! One of my favorite "sweet" combos is chocolate with walnut....or maybe pecan and caramel? The possibilities are endless!

Oh my gosh, what a divine idea. Espresso and chocolate is definitely one of those perfect pairings :)
Mmm sounds great for breakfast!
These look and sound great. I am always looking for a treat that is a little lighter! Thanks for coming by my blog.
I love that these are from WW. Your octopus is adorable.
Wow, they look scrumptious! Definitely going to try them sometime soon! All my baking stuff is back home at my parent's house, and I'm driving down this weekend to visit them back in the small town! Will keep you posted if I try them out!
You had me at "espresso" - these sound amazing! And a WW recipe - even better!
How about a combination of peanut butter and dark chocolate? The scones look great. Maybe I'll give it a try one of these days...
Those look awesome. I have to second veggiegirls suggestion of hazelnut and dark chocolate, that sounds deadly.
I love scones, chocolate chip scones go so well with mocha flavored coffee! I have to try this one day :)
The scones sound wonderful! I would love to have one of these with a cup of hot chocolate.
Ooh scones!! And ESPRESSO scones at that - what a great idea! They are already so yummy with coffee and I'm sure these are even better! I'm not sure what you could do to tweak because these look perfect as is ;o)
Whoa, scones without the scores of butter? Very cool, I like the hazelnut in there too, it sounds delicious :)
mmmmmmm hazelnut delicious!
Side note: So your grandma is from NJ??? I grew up in South Orange (northern nj), where about did she live?
I love scones and this combo looks awesome!
thanks for your comment on my Mocha Brownies! these scones look amazing too:) and I totally share your passion for coffee and chocolate:)
Mm, that sounds really good, plus very easy to veganize and adapt with different flavors!
Ooh, Megan, my kind of post. I love scones for breakfast then with a big cup of coffee mid afternoon. You know how I love chocolate. I will definitely be making these. Thank you for the recipe sweetie.
Those look fantastic!! I think I'll be making those oh, tomorrow!
These sound great Megan. I made scones recently using only whole wheat flour and substituting peanut butter for regular butter. If you're looking for healthy then you'd love em!
Ooooh, I want to make these! YUM! Thanks, again, for your guest post! :)
I've never heard of espresso scones before, they sound delicious.
You could try chocolate and cherry, that's always a winning combination
These sound delicious. I think Espresso brings out the flavor in chocolate so well. Love that you made them healthy.
I've been meaning to try making some scones. Your recipe is the perfect motivation! They look fantastic!
Oh Yummy! Chocolate chip scones and a weight watchers recipe at that too.
Quite helpful piece of writing, thanks so much for this post.
