I have a tasty breakfast treat for you all today! These delicious scones are made from 100% homeground whole wheat flour (though you can certainly subsitute store bought whole wheat flour as well). They taste just about the same as a chocolate chip cookie, just slightly less sweet. Not only are they delicious, they are super easy to make and take only a few minutes to bake. Perfect for a weekend breakfast treat!
Chocolate Chip Scones
2 cups flour (I used freshly ground hard white wheat)
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp sea salt or pink himalayan salt
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2-3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter (cold)
101/2 tsp vanilla (pure vanilla)
1 egg
1/4 cup heavy cream (you can substitute milk if you don’t have cream, but the cream does make a tasty scone)
** you may find that you need slightly more cream…after adding the first 1/4 cup, add a tablespoon at a time extra if needed to make the mixture come together**
Step One:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Combine all dry ingredients (flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and chocolate chips)
Step Two:
Combine your wet ingredients (egg, cream, vanilla)
Step Three:
Cut in cold butter to the dry ingredients
Step Four:
Combine your dry ingredients and wet ingredients
Step Five:
Shape the dough into a slightly flat circle and cut into eight pieces with a pizza cutter
Step Six:
Bake on 400 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown
Enjoy! 🙂
