Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 0.75 cup Gluten-free chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Extra granulated sugar for sprinkling

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the vanilla extract and buttermilk. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the gluten-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disc, approximately 7 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Lightly brush the tops of the scones with a little more buttermilk and sprinkle with the extra granulated sugar.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Remove the scones from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your gluten-free chocolate scones!
