You’re going to want to try this healthy rhubarb scone recipe! Over the past few weeks, I have been trying to cook as much as possible. We are all stuck at home and I know how hard it can be to keep kids busy and baking is a super way to fill up a few hours. This baby-led weaning recipe for healthy rhubarb scones, will not only make you super happy but they are also a perfect healthy treat idea for kids too. 

A baby-led weaning recipe in my eyes should be one that not only tastes great and is safe for babies, but it should also be so good that parents eat it too. One meal for the entire family. That is why these yummy scones work! My older kids devour them every single time and the younger kids love them as well.

All of the ingredients were available in Dunnes Stores when I did a shop over the weekend and I stocked up on my baking products. The most important ones for me were; flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa powder! Once I have those I can pretty much make a LOT of different recipes. If you haven’t been able to get some products in your shop, I have listed a few good swaps for you that will work!

Food Swaps

Flour

The flour mix I used was a blend of both wholemeal and plain. You can just use wholemeal or plain. If you only have self-raising flour, you can use that too, just leave out the baking powder from the other ingredients.

Baking Powder

Use self-raising flour if you don’t have baking powder

Coconut Sugar

Switch to any type of sugar you have instead. 

Greek Yogurt

For the topping I used Greek Yogurt to serve, you can also use cream, or just butter and jam! 

Egg for brushing

If you don’t have an egg for brushing, just use a little rapeseed oil brushed on the top to help the scones to brown slightly.

Rhubarb

Swap rhubarb for; berries, peeled and sliced apple, mango slices, or even pineapple.

Rhubarb scones are the perfect finger food for baby led weaning. Scones travel well and can be served with a variety of healthy toppings.

Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 200ºC.
  • Add the flours, baking powder, baking soda and coconut to a mixing bowl, then rub in the butter until it resembles large breadcrumbs.
  • Using a spatula mix in the greek yogurt, vanilla and egg until it forms a dough, then add in the rhubarb and mix well until it is fully combined into the dough.
  • Empty onto a well floured surface and roll until it is about 4cm thick. Use a cutter to cut out dough circles then place on a baking tray. Repeat with the left over dough until it is fully used up.
  • Brush the top of each scone with a little egg wash and baking for 25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Leave to cool until slightly warm before serving.
  • Serve with a dollop of raspberry chia jam and top Greek yogurt mixed with mashed banana (or cream for an indulgent treat).

Delicious! The scones are just out of the oven but I couldn’t resist having a little bite as it smelt so nice in the house while they were baking. These scones are really tasty, not too sweet (I used brown sugar) & they’re easy to make. My 4 year old daughter helped me & loved it! I didn’t have enough rhubarb so I completed with chopped strawberries. This combination just worked perfectly! The hardest will be too keep a few aside for the lunch boxes tomorrow. Many thanks for this yummy recipe ????
