Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the stevia powder, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Add the unsweetened almond milk gradually until the dough holds together but is not too sticky.
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges using a sharp knife.
Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the scones are firm to the touch and lightly browned on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool on a wire rack before serving.
