Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup Vegan chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Coconut oil, solid
- 3/4 cup Almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and mix until combined.
Step 4
Stir in the vegan chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
Step 5
Cut the solid coconut oil into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with small pea-sized chunks.
Step 6
In a separate smaller bowl, mix together the almond milk and vanilla extract.
Step 7
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the dough will be a bit sticky.
Step 8
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a round disc about 1 inch thick.
Step 9
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
Step 10
Transfer the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart for expansion.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are set and a toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
