Here's a step-by-step recipe for making Chocolate-Coffee Scones:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, solid but scoopable
• 1/2 cup brewed Arabica coffee, cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
• 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), plus extra for brushing
• 1 large egg

 

Instructions: 

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brewed coffee, vanilla extract, milk, and egg until well combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks and chopped nuts.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead a few times until the dough comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 wedges.
7. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each. Brush the tops with a bit of milk. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Chocolate-Coffee Scones warm or at room temperature.

These scones combine the rich flavors of chocolate and coffee with the added benefits of nuts and coconut oil, making them a delicious and healthful treat perfect for any time of day.
