Coconut Chocolate Chip Scones- having an Almond Joy bar for breakfast isn’t acceptable, so these scones are a tasty, healthier option. You’re welcome. Decadent scones filled with chocolate chips and coconut, and drizzled with chocolate. Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Grate in the butter and stir till coated. (Or you can cut it in with a pastry blender.) Add the chocolate chips and coconut. In a small bowl, combine egg, vanilla, and milk. Add to dry ingredients and stir lightly till just moistened. If you need to add a little more milk you can. Don't over-mix! Divide dough in half and pat into 2 circles that are about 5" across. Cut each into 6 wedges. Place on cookie sheets. (Tip: For great texture and scones that rise up instead of spreading out, freeze the scones on the pan for 30 minutes.) Bake in a preheated 425° oven for about 18-20 minutes or till golden brown. Melt the 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and drizzle over the scones. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
I am always surprised when I hear that one of my friends have never tasted a scone. They are a staple at our house for breakfast and snacks. They are just as easy to whip up as a batch of muffins, but they have less sugar. And the flavor combinations are endless! I am totally and completely in love with scones, and if you’ve never had one, I insist that you try one asap. They are so good!
Of course you know that I have a love affair with chocolate and coconut, so it was only a matter of time before I attempted a scone recipe with them. They were an instant success, and I should have doubled the batch because my family finished them off in just minutes. With the chocolate drizzle on top, can you blame them?
Let’s talk about the coconut for a minute. Coconut is plain all by itself. But toast it, and you have a whole new dimension of flavor. Out of this world flavor. Like, I can eat this stuff by the spoonful. It is tasty. And I’m addicted.
If you are a coconut chocolate fan like I am, you’ve got to try this scones. They are such a scrumptious breakfast treat. I’m not lying people. You need to get on the scone bandwagon!
