Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup Dairy-free chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup Coconut milk
- 1/2 cup Coconut oil (solid state)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the solid coconut oil into the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the dairy-free chocolate chips until evenly incorporated into the mixture.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the coconut milk and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using your hands, gently press and shape the dough into a 1-inch thick round disk.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges (like a pizza).
Transfer the scone wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the scones are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the scones warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
