Ingredients

• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 60 grams vanilla protein powder
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 85 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 large egg
• 120 grams greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar and chocolate chips.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until the dough just begins to come together.

Step 7

If the mixture is too dry, add the milk one tablespoon at a time until the dough is cohesive but not sticky.

Step 8

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Press and shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Step 9

Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and transfer each wedge onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the tops with a little milk for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake the scones in the preheated oven for about 16-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the edges and firm to touch.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Enjoy the scones warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
