Chocolate for breakfast is always a win!
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
3. Add 1/3 cup of cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Slowly pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Fold in 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips, and 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips into the dough.
6. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.
7. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a few inches in between each one. Brush the tops of the scones with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. If desired, sprinkle some cinnamon on top for a spicy kick.
8. Bake the scones for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
9. Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes before serving. If desired, dust some powdered sugar on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
10. Enjoy your delicious triple chocolate scones as a breakfast treat, snack, or dessert! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
