Chocolate Peanut-Butter Scones
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Yields:
-
8-10 scones
ingredients
- 2 cups flour (any type works, I used white-whole-wheat flour)
- 1⁄3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1⁄3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt (or just a pinch)
- 1⁄2 cup margarine
- 1 egg
- 8 ounces plain yogurt (used Greek yogurt)
- 1⁄2 cup peanut butter chips
- milk (if you use Greek yogurt, the dough will probably be dry)
directions
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender or two butter knives, cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients; set aside.
- Separate the egg yolk from the whites. Set the whites aside and beat the yolk in a separate bowl. Combine the yogurt with the yolk; pour into the well in the dry ingredients. Add peanut-butter chips. Stir mixture till moistened. Add the milk if your dough resembles a pile of crumbs.
- On a lightly floured surface, gently knead dough. Do not over-knead the dough. Knead until your dough is smooth (about 10-12 strokes). Place dough on an ungreased baking sheet (I used a pizza sheet) and pat into a 9-inch circle. Score the top of the circle into eighths. This is to make it easier to cut later.
- Bake in a 350° oven for about 25-30 minute or until a toothpick inserted into the very center (where all of the scoring lines cross) comes out clean. Let cool for about 5 min., then remove from baking sheet. Place on a wire rack and finish cutting the wedges. Serve warm.
