Healthy Blueberry Oat Scones

These are delicious and easy to prepare.  I'm anxious to try them using wheat flour and flax and orange zest with Craisins.  Jason wants chocolate chip!

** Tried again using 1 c flour and 1/2 c whole wheat - didn't notice a difference in taste.  Kids and Jason loved them with chocolate chips.  Craisins were good but not great.  Try with mixed berries?
