Hey there, and welcome back, friends.

You are in for a sweet treat!

If you haven’t tried a chocolate scone, this is your sign that you need to! Chocolate takes these scones to the next level. Chocolate with strawberries is a match made in food heaven.

Scones are irresistible. They’re so buttery and tender. I love biting into them. They are a fun weekend treat. Biting into one makes me forget about everything else in life.

In those few minutes when I am enjoying a scone, I forget about life stresses, relax, and recharge. These chocolate strawberry scones are simple, hearty, and delicious (warm) with a cup of tea.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour
• whole wheat pastry flour or whole wheat flour
• rolled oats
• granulated sugar
• baking powder
• salt
• cold butter
• Greek yogurt
• semisweet chocolate chunks
• fresh strawberries
• a little bit of milk
• Turbinado sugar for garnishing

How to Make Chocolate Strawberry Scones

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Using a pastry cutter, mix in the butter into the dry ingredients until pea-sized. Do not over mix as you want pockets of butter in your dough for a flaky scone.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the Greek yogurt. Gently mix until a dough starts to form.

Stir in the chocolate chunks and chopped strawberries.

Gently mix to combine the ingredients.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and work it gently into a circle. Pat into a circle about 1 inch high. If the dough is sticky, use more flour.

Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into 8 equal triangles.

Transfer each to the prepared sheet. Chill the triangles in the freezer for a few minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven.

Brush triangles lightly with milk and generously sprinkle turbinado sugar over the scones.

Bake scones until golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool. While warm, enjoy the scones immediately. For an extra indulgence, drizzle the scones with melted chocolate.

How to Store

Store homemade scones at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze scones for up to 3 months. Unthaw the scones on a plate at room temperature.
