The Marvelous Scone

Scones. They’re marvelous for breakfast, brunch or anytime day. Somehow many Americans have missed the memo on scones – muffins tend to be the breakfast bakery item. We can and should have both!

I combined two of our favorite breakfast foods – granola and scones.  These Chocolate Chip Granola Scones are sweet, delicious breakfast (or anytime of the day) perfection.

There really is something magical about a fresh, warm scone.  A little crisp on the outside – but soft, tender and crumbly in the inside.  Served with a cup of tea, coffee or milk – it’s wonderful.

Ingredients & Instructions

Scones are fun (and easy) to make. My kids love getting involved – mixing, shaping, patting and cutting the dough.

Use your favorite brand of granola or make your own! Check out this recipe for Blueberry Almond Granola to get you started on your homemade granola adventure.

I 100% recommend using mini chocolate chips in this recipe. Regular sized is just too much chocolate in a bite. Mini chocolate chips disperse nicely in this scone dough.

To make the dough, you’re going to cut cold butter into the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in granola & chocolate chips and then all the wet ingredients.

Then press out ball of dough directly onto parchment lined pan into a circle. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar, slice into 8 slices & bake until light golden brown.

You could make a drizzle to top these if you’d like, but we prefer our scones with a sprinkle of turbinado sugar before baking. Serve with butter, jams and fruit butters.

Hope you enjoy these Chocolate Chip Granola Scones! Happy Baking!

Servings 10 scones

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 cups flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup salted butter cold & cubed
• 1 heaping cup Quaker® Simply Granola Oats or your favorite granola
• 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 tablespoon turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 375°F
• Line a baking sheet/pan with parchment paper. I use a pizza pan.
• In a large mixing bowl – whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Using a pastry blender, cut in cubed butter until texture is of coarse crumbs.
• Break up any large clusters of granola. I pour it in a sealed sandwich bag and press down on it a few times with the measuring cup.
• Stir granola & chocolate chips into flour mixture.
• In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, egg & vanilla extract.
• Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture. Stir until combined – do not over mix.
• Press out ball of dough directly onto parchment lined pan. Press into 8″-9″ circle.
• Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Using a pizza cutter (or knife if you don’t have a pizza cutter) slice scones into 8 slices.
• Bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until tops are just light golden brown.
• Remove from oven and transfer scones, still on parchment paper, onto wire rack.
• Scones are best served a little warm & with butter, jams & fruit butters. Scones are best eaten the same day as baked, but can be stored covered for a day or two.
• Enjoy : )
