  • 1/2 cup Real California Greek-style plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

For the icing

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar, or more as needed

  • 2 teaspoons Real California milk, or more a needed
  • 1/4 teaspoon maple extract (optional)

Utensils needed

  • Food Processor
  • Small Bowl

Instructions

Step 1
If using the Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher, install the stacked blade in the 72-ounce Power Pitcher. If using a food processor, fit it with a cutting blade. Place the oats, flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in the pitcher or food processor. For the Power Pitcher, use Manual Speed 1, select START/STOP, and blend until the oats are well chopped. For a food processor, pulse until the oats are well chopped.

Step 2
For the Power Pitcher, swap out the stacked blade for the dough blade, add the butter, and install the lid. Use Manual Speed 1, select START/STOP, and blend until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. For a food processor, add the butter, install the lid, and pulse until the butter is in pea-sized pieces.

Step 3
Add the yogurt and maple syrup and install the lid. For the Power Pitcher, use Manual Speed 1, select START/STOP, and blend until the mixture just comes together, 10 to 15 seconds. For a food processor, pulse until the mixture comes together.

Step 4
Remove dough from pitcher or food processor to a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times until the mixture comes together. Divide the dough in half and pat each half into a 1-inch-thick round. Sprinkle the pecans on top, pressing them into the dough. Wrap both rounds in plastic wrap and set aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 

Step 5
If using the Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill, remove the crisper basket and grill grate and close the hood. Select BAKE, set the temperature to 300°F, and set the time to 14 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating. If using a conventional oven, preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 6
Meanwhile, cut each of the dough rounds into 6 wedges.

Step 7
When the grill or oven is preheated, arrange half of scones evenly in the cooking pot or arrange all of scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cook until lightly browned at the edges, 12 to 14 minutes in the grill or 22 to 25 minutes in the oven. 

Step 8
Repeat with remaining scones.

Step 9
Once the scones are thoroughly cool, make the icing: In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, syrup, milk, and extract, if using. Add more sugar or milk, if needed, to make a thick but drizzly icing. 

Step 10
Drizzle the icing over the scones. Let the icing set before serving.
