Peach-Apricot Scones

I know the name peach-apricot scones is not the most appealing names for a bake-good, but believe me these scones are not like the English ones that almost break your tooth(no offense if you like English scones, I personally just don't like them). I have been trying to experiment with more recipes since the weather is getting colder. When the holidays come around I always get in the mood to bake more. : ) Today I had some flavored Greek yogurt that needed to be used up, and as they say "necessity is the mother of invention." These scones are one of the recipes that you can eat them anytime of the day. They are not super sweet, but they are sweet enough that you can have them for dessert.


Ingredients
~ 1/4 cup of dried fruit(You can put more or less depending on your taste.) Note: I used dried apricots.
~ 2 cups of Better Batter All-Purpose Flour
~ 1/4 cup of brown sugar
~ 2 teaspoons baking powder
~ 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
~ 1/4 cup of butter
~ 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
~ 2 egg yolks
~ 18 oz of Greek flavored yogurt(the one with the fruit at the bottom) Note: I used Chobani peach 0% yogurt)
~ 1 cup of old-fashioned oats
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°
2. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
3. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. After you have the butter cut in, add the oats. You can add the oats before you cut the butter in, but I think it is easier to add them afterwards.
5. In a small mixing bowl combine the dried fruit, yogurt, egg yolks, and vanilla
6. Mix the wet and the dry ingredients together.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
8. Enjoy!
