Chocolate Scones with strawberries

Chocolate Scones with strawberries for a healthy and indulgent snack or dessert

Chocolate and strawberry is such a classic combination! In this recipe I combined chocolate and strawberries to create gluten free and vegan scones!

Chocolate Scones with strawberries Ingredients

• flex egg – chia egg or normal egg will work too
• milk – any milk will work, I used almond
• buckwheat flour – can use all purpose flour
• baking powder
• unsweetened cocoa powder – any regular cocoa powder will work
• coconut sugar – can use brown sugar or any other granulated sugar
• coconut oil  – must be cold not melted or room temperature, can also use cold butter
• strawberries

Variations

Dark Chocolate chips – add a handful for chocolate chip scones. You can add a chocolate drizzle on the tops of the scones too to make  triple chocolate scones. One for the chocolate lovers!

Different Fruit – cherries or raspberries would work well

Vanilla – add some vanilla extract

How to Make Chocolate Scones Recipe

Here’s how to make chocolate flavor homemade scones.

1. Preheat your oven to 400f/200c degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper
2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula
3. Add the chilled coconut oil and cut into the dry ingredients. I used a fork to do this, can also use a pastry cutter
4. Stir in the wet ingredients – milk and egg and gently mix (not too rough)
5. Gently the strawberries into the scone dough
6. Knead the dough a few times then add to a lightly floured surface and roll out into 1 inch thick circle
7. Slice into 8 scones and transfer to baking tray
8. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes
9. Leave to cool completely before enjoying
10. Optional I added a drizzle of Sweet Freedom Choc Shot on top for that extra chocolatey taste!

There’s nothing better then pulling these warm scones from the oven. They smell incredible and have the best flaky texture with rich flavor.
