You had me at hello. I mean, chocolate.
You had me at chocolate.
Then you really had me at Double Chocolate.
I’m still debating with myself whether to call these breakfast or snack or dessert. Maybe I should just call them all three. Maybe a weekend breakfast, an afternoon snack and a late night treat.
Whenever you want to serve them, just serve them. I won’t judge if you have them for breakfast everyday of the week. I just want you to make them and be wow-ed by them!
Cheers to Double Chocolate! *clink*
Double Chocolate Scones
The best Double Chocolate Scones recipe! Double chocolate, double delicious! Simple scones for a superb breakfast treat!
Servings - 8 persons
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter cold
- 1 tbsp coconut oil cold/firm
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Prepare baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir to combine. The mixture will be uniform when ready.
- Use a fork or pastry blender to cut in the butter and coconut oil. The mixture will resemble crumbly lumps. This should be done as quickly as possible so the butter and oil don't start to melt. It might take around 3 minutes to get the butter thoroughly blended in with no large clumps remaining.
- Add milk to the mixture and stir gently just until combined. It will look dry and crumbly and that's okay.
- Move dough from bowl to baking sheet and form a rounded loaf. Be careful not to work the dough too much because the heat from your hands will melt the fats.
- Divide the loaf into 8 wedges with a floured knife. Do not cut all the way through the bottom. Stop about 1/2 inch from the liner.
- Top with all of the chocolate chips and press them gently into the mounded dough.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 375 until golden brown.
- Serve Double Chocolate Scones warm from the oven.

What can I use in place of the coconut oil?
Tara says
I would like to know that too.

I would think you could just use butter. I’ve made various scone recipes and they all use butter. It’s a small amount, so I can’t imagine it would affect them hugely.

Yum!
