Every week, we are experimenting with new recipes, as it’s become a little quarantine tradition to have some sort of dessert at night. A few weeks ago, Lauren texted me a photo of blueberry lemon scones she made, and they’d been on my mind ever since. I’m more of a chocolate person, so I set out to make some chocolate scones. If you’re British, please disregard this entire post - my British friends say these are not true scones, so take this all with a grain of salt. Whether or not you call them scones, I can attest to these being flakey, chocolatey goodness, equally delicious first thing out of the oven or cold with a cup of coffee in the morning.
Ingredients for Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Scones
Yield: 12 Small Scones
Time: 15 minutes to mix ingredients, 30 minutes to chill in fridge, 20 minutes to bake
1 1/4 cup Almond Flour
2/3 cup Coconut Flour
1/2 cup Whole Milk
1 Egg
1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts
1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup
3 Tablespoons Coconut Oil (hard)
3 Tablespoons Butter
1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate bowls. Add the wet ingredients to the dry. Then, use your (clean!!) hands and begin to form a big ball of dough. Cover, and put in the fridge for 30 minutes. Don’t worry if it feels too dry.
Thirty minutes later, take it out and preheat your oven to 400F. Use your hands to form the dough into small triangular wedges. If it’s a little too dry, work with wet hands. Again, it’s ok if it falls apart a little bit - better for it to be too dry than too wet. My dough felt a little too dry (I would say it was drier than cookie dough), but the scones were fantastic and didn’t fall apart at all - so err on the dry side. Pop in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. You can eat right away or wait til the morning! Hope you enjoy!!
