Date and Cinnamon Scones
This recipe was given to me by my friends Nasra and Jacob. You can use unbleached white or whole wheat pastry flour in place of kamut flour, but I really recommend trying it for it's soft texture and sweet, buttery flavor (in addition to it's health benefits). I buy it at the GNC.

Ingredients:Nutrition per 12 scones: 115 cal
o 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
o 1 cup unbleached white flour or kamut flour or whole wheat pastry flour
o 2 tsp baking powder
o 1/3 tsp salt
o 3 tsp cinnamon
o 1 tbsp olive oil
o 3/4 cup + 3 tbsp plain yogurt (I use low fat) or buttermilk
o 1/3 cup pureed dates (soften in 2 tbsp hot water, mix well)
Directions:
Soften the dates by simmering over low heat with 3 tbsp water in a saucepan for several minutes, stirring until soft, then cool in the fridge. Once cool, mix with yogurt and oil until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix flours, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix with a fork quickly until it is just blended. Dough will still be a little crumbly. Pat it out gently in a ¼” circle on a floured surface. Don’t knead. Cut into 10-12 wedges and bake at 400 for 20 minutes until they begin to brown and a toothpick at the center comes out clean. Tap them to see if they are done – they will sound hollow.
