It's hard to resist a freshly-baked scone and these fibre-rich, cinnamon-spiced treats are as good as it gets. Super-quick to make, they’re deliciously crumbly on the outside and soft on the inside – the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea.

Method

Preheat oven to 220ºC/Fan 200ºC.
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon together in a bowl.
Cut the reduced-fat spread into small pieces and add to the dry ingredients; then mix well.
Add the oats, raisins, egg and most of the milk – leaving a small amount for glazing – and mix well.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 2cm thickness.
Using a 6cm diameter cutter, cut out 8 scones.
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the scones onto the baking paper – evenly spaced – and lightly brush with the remaining milk.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden and crispy.
