Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole rolled or thick cut oats
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter room temperature, cubed
  • 1 cup mixed Blueberries and Blackberries
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, orange zest, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Carefully fold berries into flour mixture.
  4. Whisk buttermilk, egg, and vanilla together in a small bowl. Create a well in the center of your flour and berry mixture. Pour in buttermilk mixture and gently mix just until dough forms.

  5. Flour hands, and place dough on a well-floured work surface.

  1. Thank you very much for all the information you so kindly share! I am interested in trying the above recipe and wondering if you have a suggestion to substitute the oats as I am unfortunately allergic. Thank you for your time.

    1. You are so welcome Sandra. You can try replacing the oats with Quinoa flakes, Amaranth, or Buckwheat. I am not sure of the ratio. This will make for a good experiment. Let me know how it turns out.

  2. Love your recipes & can’t wait to try this one! I see the ingredients, but no instructions, though I can probably figure it out

  3. this was so good!
    I didn’t have any oranges so I used the zest and fruit of a finger lime (a citrus native to Queensland/Northern NSW) from my garden and the hints of tangy lime worked so well with the rest of the recipe. I’ll definitely try this again with the orange zest soon to see the difference.

  4. 5 stars
    I’m making this for our Beltane celebration tomorrow, this will be my 3rd time making it. The other 2 times it turned out delicious. This time however I noticed the author’s name and realized I’ve listened to just about every episode of your podcast. Thank you for this recipe and for everything you do, blessed be.
