Ingredients

  • cup granulated sugar**
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (I like Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cup butter (cold and solid, cut into small cubes (I used Earth Balance vegan butter))
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ⅛-1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips (Guittard is gluten-free and dairy-free)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • In a food processor, add the sugar, gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to combine.
  • Then, add in the very cold butter chunks and pulse until the butter is the size of small peas. If you don't have a food processor you can also do this in a bowl with a pastry blender or two knives. You just want the butter to remain cold and not melt into the flour mixture.
  • Then, add in the vanilla and almond milk. Start with ⅛ cup of almond milk and keep adding more until the mixture is slightly wet and can be held together into a dough (I ended up using almost the full ½ cup of milk but it will depend on your brand of flour).
  • Stir in 1 cup of the dark chocolate chips.
  • Pat the dough into a circle (about 8 inch in diameter). Cut it into 8 wedges.
  • Bake at 400F for 15-17 minutes, until they are a light golden brown.
  • Remove the scones from the oven and allow to cool before glazing.
  • Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, in 30 second increments, until chocolate is melted.
  • Drizzle or spoon the chocolate over the scones and allow to set completely before serving.

Notes

**Be sure to use vegan sugars if you would like to make this recipe vegan.
