    Lightly sweetened, flaky and delicious...you will fall in love with these simple to make, Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Scones.

    My husband and I were away for our 10th anniversary 5 years ago at a fancy brunch and they had these Lemon Berry Scones. They smelled out of this world and you all know how much I adore lemon and berries so I gave it a whirl.

    Even though I have always disliked scones, especially how dry they were, I loved these ones.  And I may or may not have eaten my husband's scone too.

    So now, as we approach our 15 year anniversary (gasp!) I wanted to make a new kind of scone for my hubby.  Since he is obsessed with chocolate, these were a no brainer.

    The funniest part?  My kids and their friends ended up eating all of these and my poor husband didn't even try one of them.  

    If you are looking for more healthy scone recipes, you will love these Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Scones with Maple Glaze, Peaches and Cream Whole Wheat Scones, Gluten Free Strawberry Pomegranate Scones and these Gluten Free Eggnog Scones! All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider!

    Why You Should Make These Chocolate Chip Scones

    For those that are intimidated by making scones because they might sound fancy, DON'T BE! These are truly ridiculously easy to make.

    These chocolate chip scones go perfectly with a big cup of green tea or coffee.  Your choice.

    These scones look fancy so I love to give them as gifts when someone is sick, or their birthday or for no reason at all.

    Recipe Tips

    You can easily substitute butter for coconut oil if that is all you have. I love the buttery taste and texture personally so use what is already in your house.

    These scones can be ready in a half hour so they are easy enough to make during the week. I usually make these on my meal prep days for us to have for breakfast or snack for a few days.

    These scones are completely customizable. I have made them so many times with various fruits like berries, pineapple and even mango chunks.

    I have also used butterscotch chips, peppermint chips as well as white chocolate chips to mix it up!

    Ingredients

    • 1½ cups gluten-free all purpose flour

      Dear, dear, dear Lauren...

      I just made a 2nd batch, only 3 days later...

      These came out even BETTER, if you can imagine that!
      I just cannot come up with the words to thank you beyond 'thank you to the 9th degree'!

      Now, I gotta figure out how to hide them, before hubby wakes from his nap and smells this deliciousness. Hmmmmmm LOL

      O.M.G. Just made, cooled and tasted these scones. THE MOST delicious gluten-free treat I have ever had!

      I've been pouring over all the regular & gluten-free scone recipes on Pinterest, since I purchased a bag of Bob's Red Mill GF 1 to 1 All Purpose Flour, and even made one of 'the other recipes' last week, which I just barely tolerated out of desperate need for a treat, and couldn't wait to throw away.....
      but THESE !!!!.....

      O.M.G.!!! Don't ANY ONE dare go near these. I've made ya'll all those gluteny yummies and could never have them since I was diagnosed with Celiac 2 yrs ago.....

      NOW, it's MY TURN. LOL

      Thank you soooooooo much Lauren for this recipe!
      You KNOW I'll be making these again & again. 🙂

      (p.s. I didn't have any coconut flour, so I used additional GF all purpose flour in it's place, which has added xanthan gum, but I added an additional ¼ tsp xanthan gum to be safe.... used vegetable oil in place of the coconut oil which I had none of on hand... and used regular GF Light & Fit Vanilla Flavored yogurt, and added ½ tsp of baking soda as well (afraid cuz last 'disaster' the scones were SO dense, I wanted to make sure I got a little lift this time). Next time I need to lower the amount of oil a bit. And there WILL be a next time!!)
      ((wish I could upload a picture of mine to show ya's..... they look, smell, and taste SO good!))
