Oats Chocolate chip Scones

Oats Chocolate chip Scones are the healthy version of the scones perfect for cup of tea.. chocolate chip in between makes it more tastier. No eggs are used in this and buttermilk is used that makes the scones soft and crunchier in texture.This is one the recipe that I make every week my kids love these scones..In starting I used to make scones with All purpose flour  then I wanted to make it healthy for kids so tried with oats it was a good success…they loved it..It s lightly sweetened and perfect for a cup of tea. Even you can add dried berries  for a variation and make it to your taste. It’s very easy to make it . just needed the cold butter to make a perfect texture to the scones..
