These Healthy Cranberry Scones are light, fluffy and can be eaten with less guilt!

These Healthy Cranberry Scones are perfectly light, fluffy and delicious! Serve these Weight Watchers scones warm with tea or coffee. livelaughrowe.comI love swinging by Starbucks and grabbing a skinny latte and a scone or piece of coffee cake.  Yes,  I have a coffee addiction and, yes, I would do it every day if I could {giggle}.  Now I’m curious.  If you were to head to your local coffee shop, what would you order?  Coffee?  Tea?  Scone? Cake? Cake Pop?

I thought I’d share one of my favorite {and healthy} recipes that pairs quite perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea.  I make these often and they always seem to hit the spot.  Healthy Cranberry Scones.  It’s a wonderful breakfast food, mid-morning snack or a wonderful dessert served with coffee or tea.  The best part of all is that it only has 4 Points in the new Weight Watchers Points Plus program.  {Love} it!

These scones are super easy to make and the cranberries can be substituted with raisins, cherries or any other dry fruit of choice.  Doesn’t that make this recipe even more exciting?

    Kelly, I was so excited because I had all the ingredients, that is until I got down to buttermilk – shoot! And we've declared today Pajama Day so I'm not going any where:-) I'm looking up a substitute – I think if I add vinegar to regular milk, it should be ok, but I'll let you know!

      There’s a substitute for buttermilk–milk and vinegar/lemon juice–so don’t let that stop you. My mom taught me that trick years ago. I don’t remember the proportions, and I’m away from home, so you might look that up.

    I love scones! These scones are really good if you add in a little orange zest also. So yummy 🙂
