Is there any better unique combination than peanut butter and chocolate? No one can argue that the two are a definite match made in heaven! This has and will always be one of my favorite combos – so combining them into a delicious baked good made PERFECT sense. Enter these peanut butter chocolate chip scones!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Scones – Gluten Free

While scones can sometimes be void of sweeteners, I’ve sweetened them with honey which blends so nicely with the other flavors. I’m quite positive that you are going to love these peanut butter chocolate chip scones just as much as we do!

The best thing about these is that they are so versatile. My 6 year-old loves having them for breakfast, and my 10 year-old will grab one on the go as we drive from school to dance. I’m sure that there are no crumbs whatsoever in the back of my car, wink wink. Good thing my husband is fond of vacuuming out the car, ’cause who knows what kinda mess she’s got going on back in the back!

Tips on making Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Scones:

I make them in the food processor, but you could also do them in the blender. I’ll include instructions for the blender below and while I haven’t tried it, I assume that you can also make these by hand – just get ready for some serious elbow grease.

If you can’t do peanut butter, switch it up with another nut butter and see how they do. As always, my favorite brand of chocolate chips is the Enjoy Life Brands. I used the dark ones in the pictures, but these would also be tasty.

Want to make this vegan? Use vegan butter in place of dairy butter, dairy-free milk, and sub a flax egg by mixing 1 TBSP flax seeds with 3 TBSP water.

And now for the recipe …
