Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour | gluten free: use 1 to 1 flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping:

  • 1 tbsp milk (for brushing)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp white sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and mini chocolate chips.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk together the wet ingredients. Then stir until the entire mixture is just combined—be careful not to overmix!

Step 4: Shape the Scones

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 5: Add the Topping

Brush the tops of the scones with milk, then sprinkle with the combined brown and white sugar.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 18-23 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Chocolate Chip Scones

  • Don’t Overmix – Overmixing can make scones tough instead of tender.
  • Use Cold Milk – Helps keep the scones light and fluffy.
  • Customize Your Mix-ins – Try nuts, cinnamon, or flavored extracts for a twist!

Storage

Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze and reheat as needed.

Enjoy these homemade chocolate chip scones fresh from the oven with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey!
