    It's so funny to me that I only started liking scones about 5 years ago.  My husband and I were away for our 10th anniversary 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.

    Sidenote:  A good scone won't be too dry.  Now I know.

    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.  

    Such is life with 3 boys.

    For those that are intimidated by making scones because they might sound fancy, DON'T BE!

    These are truly ridiculously easy to make.  I promise. And they go perfectly with a big cup of green tea.  Or coffee.  Your choice.

    Author: Lauren Kelly

    Ingredients

    • 11 ⁄2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
    • 1 ⁄4 cup coconut flour
    • 1 ⁄2 teaspoon xanthan gum
    • 1 ⁄4 cup unrefined sugar
    • 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
    • 1 ⁄8 teaspoon salt
    • 1 ⁄2 cup coconut oil
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 ⁄3 cup plain Greek yogurt
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ⅓ cup chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone mat.
    • In a large bowl, mix together the flours, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder and salt. Work in the coconut oil until the mixture is crumbly.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla until frothy. Add to the dry ingredients, stirring until well blended. The dough will be sticky.
    • Fold in the chocolate chips.
    • Drop the dough onto the parchment paper or silicone mat and form into a circle in the center of baking sheet. Cut circle into 8 triangles or use a cookie cutter to make 8 hearts.

      So funny, I did not like scones forever either. I thought they stuck to the roof of my mouth. What convinced me, was when my sister brought me a panera scone when I was sick and a cup of hot tea. I am convinced now! And these look great. You need to make soon for your husband and hide from your boys 🙂

      Happy Anniversary! I LOVE a good scone! And yes, a good scone is not dry. I happened to cook with Ireland's most famous chef a few years ago (Darina Allen) and she gave me some inside tips! These look scrumptious, and the ones you had a brunch sound delicious as well!

      I used to not like scones either...one bad, dry scone will do that for you. Now I know that good scones are NOT dry and I like those a whole lot better! Happy anniversary!
