CHOCOLATE and HAZELNUT SCONES

These scones are perfect anytime with a cup of tea or, even better, as a way to eat dessert for breakfast. They are great warm out of the oven, but don’t be afraid to make them the day before.


» SERVES 8 «

21/4 cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cold vegan butter

1 cup unsweetened coconut milk yogurt

1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.

2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Using a pastry cutter, incorporate butter into flour until you have coarse crumbs.

4. Add yogurt, chocolate chips, and hazelnuts and stir until everything is just moistened and mostly holding together. Turn out onto a parchment paper–lined baking sheet and form into an even 7" round. Cut the round into 8 wedges.

5. Bake 13–15 minutes, allow to cool briefly on baking sheet.
