Healthy Whole Wheat Blueberry Coffee Cake (Scones)
STOP: You will be happier with my blueberry buckle recipe. Much better rise with the same calories
I'm trying to get back on an healthier course. Quick and less than 150 calories per serving. I used Splenda for the sugar and changed the topping. You could call this scones if you want but it is a modification of a coffeecake recipe I have used for years which was modified from an old cookbook.

Notes: I used granular Splenda both in the recipe and in the topping. This saved about 200 calories and I got rid of the butter based topping which is another 700 calories but the blueberries added 60.
This should be a great recipe for the diabetics and those interested in a healthier diet. The low calories will earn this a place in our everyday diet.
If you have buttermilk, the rise will increase some. I just didn't have any today and didn't take the time to make a substitute.
I ran the ingredients through a online calculator and got the following using 8 servings per recipe. While I make no guarantees of accuracy, it looks about right to me.
