My chocolate chip scones recipe appears in both my Healthy Coconut Flour Cookbook and my Everyday Keto Baking cookbook.
These scones pair well with your morning cup of tea or coffee, but they are also a great on-the-run breakfast meal or snack. They are a bit on the lighter side, as far as scones go, thanks to the lightness of coconut flour. This recipe makes a good number of scones, so stash some away in the freezer for a later date.
To make these dairy-free, for the yogurt substitute coconut milk or other dairy-free yogurt or cream. You'll want to use very thick coconut milk, otherwise your scones may be a bit runny. Another option is to use coconut cream in place of yogurt.
To prevent them from spreading on the baking sheet while baking, place the batter in the refrigerator for 15 minutes and the place the scones on the baking sheet to bake.
Brian Huffman says
I followed the directions and mine turned out like flat patcakes!! :-O
Erica says
Sorry to hear! Did you make any substitutions?
Erica says
I've had a few readers tell me the scones spread when baking. Not sure if it's the subs or the coconut flour brand since I haven't had trouble using different coconut flour brands. To prevent it from spreading, place the batter in the refrigerator or freezer for 15 minutes or so before baking.
Patty Baker says
These came out so nice with the perfect ratio of liquid to flour. I prefer coconut flour to almond flour for baking because of nut allergy in my family. This will be my go to scone recipe. My husband thinks they could be cookies. I'm so happy to have found this! Thanks!
Erica says
Great to hear! Enjoy
Patty says
I'm fairly new to baking with coconut flour. This is the third of your CF recipes I've tried. Although the texture isn't what one would expect of a wheat flour scone, my hubby and I thought they were light and delicious. I used my 2 oz. disher to portion out the dough; yielding 12 scones. Still only took 25 min. in my oven. Using a calorie calculator, each scone comes in at 183 calories. Not bad at all, for such a generous size.
Thank you, Erica, Your cookbook is going on my wishlist for sure!
Erica says
You're very welcome. Thanks!
Wisconsin Baker says
Just making these scones...I replaced the baking soda with baking powder (grain free of course) and I'm getting a much nicer shape and lift in them. Coconut flour reacts better with baking powder as opposed to baking soda. Erica test them that way and see if you want to change the recipe.
Erica says
Thanks for the feedback. I'll give it a try when I'm back baking 🙂
Claire McGuire says
I'm new to cooking with coconut flour. These scones sound delicious. I will definitely be making these. Thank you.
Erica says
You're welcome!
Christie says
I'm not trying to win anything, as these scones were the first recipe of yours that I've tried. THEY. ARE. FABULOUS!!! You have a brand new fan!! I've been experimenting with coconut flour the last 2 years and this is probably the most success I've had - I'm really picky when it comes to texture. I can't wait to get my hands on your book!!
Thank you so much for what you do!
Erica says
Awe, thanks Christie! So glad they worked for you 🙂
Brittanee says
Hi there! Stumbled upon your website not too long ago and have been browsing your recipes (which all look YUMMY by the way!). For this particular recipe, the Chocolate Chip Scones, can I use something other than chocolate chips? Like blueberries or just chopped nuts? Chocolate isn't necessarily SCD-friendly (at least for me it isn't), and I wanted to substitute it with something that I could eat, and that would taste just as good! Hopefully, blueberries would work! 🙂
Erica says
yes, blueberries and other additions will definitely work!
Erin says
I made these yesterday, but unfortunately they didn't come out right at all 🙁 They were totally flat like cookies. I let the batter sit for about 20 minutes before baking them (I had something else in the oven that I let finish first) - do you think that would have affected them? I was so excited! Scones are my favorite.
Erica says
Was it warm (warm ambient air/environment) while they were sitting outside? I haven't seen this - which ingredients did you use (coconut milk or?)? And, if coconut milk, did you use full-fat?
Ceridwyn says
Comfy Belly Cinnamon Bun Muffins ... yumbolicious!
Erica says
Thanks, Ceridwyn!
Ash says
My favourite recipe on here are the Orange Cranberry Muffins {using almond & coconut flour}. I just love them. The combination of the 2 flours makes them absolutely perfect.

The orange dreamsicle recipe brought me to your website (which I love!), but as a food lover with lots of newly diagnosed food allergies, I am excited about all you have that is allergy-friendly. Can't wait to make these scones tomorrow AM!

Welcome. I should have named it that - dreamsicle!

I love your banana bread recipe! That's how I found your site 🙂
Erica says
Thanks, Amanda!
Alex says
I haven't gotten to try any (I'm disinclined to bake when it's just me--too much temptation), but the coconut lime macaroons have been calling my name for a month or two now!
Erica says
yes, so many options! the lemon macaroons are good too!
Juanita says
I really like the cinnamon roll muffins - they are AMAZING! And I couldn't believe how real the banana bread was!
Erica says
Thanks, Juanita!
Anne says
I enjoy many of the recipes (and can't wait to try the chocolate chip scones)but if I have to pick a favorite, it would be the brownies. 🙂
Erica says
Thanks, Anne!

Erica says
thanks for reminding me about the spinach tart 🙂
Becca F says
The almond flour yellow cake
Erica says
Do you make the one in my SCD book? It's my favorite. It's also in the coconut flour cookbook (almond cake).
Karen says
I love your recipes and I refer people to it a lot. My favorites are the banana bread (almond and coconut flour) and raw chocolate cheesecake......among others. Oh, and the almond flour pancakes....
Erica says
thanks for sharing the love!
Erica says
Update: Sorry, Karen. I had to move on to the next winner since I didn't hear from you.
You're a winner! Please email me your name and mailing address so I can have a book and bag of flour sent to you. - Erica
Nanda says
so, i just made these scones. a couple things: 1) i think you might want to add to flatten the scones before baking, instead of just saying to shape them. mine seemed underdone in the middle.
2) is coconut flour just sort of like that, though? it seemed just as described on the outside, at the exact same temperature oven for the exact same amount of time, and yet the middle seems sort of dough-ish. but at the same time, it's almost a little bit dry in the mouth. but maybe that's just how the coconut flour is.
thoughts?
Erica says
I make these very small, no more than 2 tablespoons of batter per scone to avoid the scones from baking too long on the outside and not enough on the inside. The longer you bake coconut flour items, the drier they get, so baking it longer won't solve your issues - it sounds like you need to make smaller scones. You can flatten them, and it might affect the center baking issue, but I suspect you are just making them a bit bigger than I do. Hope that helps.
Nanda says
Thank you!!
Véronique says
I haven't made any recipes yet but I have many bookmarked to try out soon!! Judging by the comments above, I think I should try the banana bread first as it seems to be a hit. Can't wait to try it!
Would love to have your book and try everything 🙂

Yes to the banana bread!

Would love the book! It's too hard to pick a favorite as I have tried many recipes and have loved them all. The latest I tried was the raw chocolate cheesecake ( no coconut flour needed), but was so delicious. I do really love the pumpkin bread recipe with coconut flour and the banana bread as well.
Erica says
Thanks, Julie! So glad you ventured into raw recipes. They are a great alternative to "flour" recipes.

Ahhh I am so excited you're offering a giveaway -- I have been wanting this book for months! I fell in love with your site years ago and honestly every recipe I have tried has turned out well, so your site has been one I frequently trust.
So sorry these use almond flour, but my very first recipe to try was your cinnamon cookie pie crust and I loved it! Absolute favorite recipe is your Cranberry Upside Down Cake. I have made it for so many people and they love it every time.
Congratulations on the book launch - I hope more and more people come to rely on your fantastic recipes. 🙂
Erica says
ah, yes, I love cranberries! Thanks!

Theresatron says
I (and my husband) really enjoy the coconut flower popovers. One of the wheat flour things I missed most was good yorkshire puddings or toad in the hole that popover recipe changed everything.
Theresatron says
whoops! I mean coconut "flour" teehee I guess I'm in a flowery mood for spring
Erica says
Thanks, Theresa! I prefer flowers 🙂
Sheila H. says
We make your banana bread and your cinnamon bun muffins several times a month These scones could be on tap for Father's Day brunch.
Erica says
Thanks, Sheila. Hope they work out well!
Emily says
You have so many great recipes to choose from, but our favorites are your coconut flour brownies and your coconut flour chocolate chip muffins. YUM! My kids all love them. 😀
Erica says
Awe, thanks, Emily! Kids are my inspiration when it comes to cupcakes and muffins! (but we're all kids, right?)
Nanda Garber says
Chocolate chip cookies!
Erica says
wow, good to hear! I wasn't sure if many knew about them (there are a few on the site and a great one in the new book!) Thanks, Nanda!
Christina says
I'm a newbie with coconut flour so I don't have any tried and true favorites yet, but I love your gluten free cranberry scone recipe. I'm anxious to try some coconut flour recipes.
Erica says
oh, you must dig in. Thanks, Christina!
cristine bergen says
I myself am not a baker but being on a low carb diet is a struggle. I have started to find ways to make it a lifestyle change. My very first recipe ever attempted was your cinabun cupcakes and it came out amazing. Brought it to work and everyone loved it!!!
Erica says
Yay! Thanks Cristine! Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices along with allspice.
Cristy says
My favourite recipe is for the cream filled cakes and cupcakes. When our youngest son got sick, and we had to change our families diet, we came across your website. These healthy "twinkies" became a staple in my sons lunch and made SCD that much easier to transition to. They also taste so much better than any of the commercially made cakes that never seem to go bad in the grocery store!
Erica says
Thanks, Cristy! I almost forgot about the cream-filled goodies!
liz says
The scones are wonderful, and thank you for giving me the tools and courage to learn how to use coconut flour. I have been cooking with nut flours for 10 years, and am so pleased to expand my possibilities for gluten free. My attempts to use coconut flour in the past have been discouraging. I have made the chocolate chip scones and added dried fruits (apple juice infused) and that is nice.
Liz
Erica says
Great to hear, Liz! Thanks!
Liz@Virtually Homemade says
Your most recent brownie recipe is to die for! Love coconut flour 🙂
Erica says
Nice! Thanks so much, Liz!
Heather Beville says
I love making baked chicken tenders with a mix of almond and coconut flour as the "breading". I love this especially because my daughter enjoys it so much. She's so picky and it's hard to get her to eat anything healthy, so this is definitely great for both of us!
Erica says
Thanks, Heather. So good to hear. I do a bit of mixing almond flour and coconut flour for one breaded chicken recipe in this book.
Erika says
The vanilla cupcakes w/coconut flour are A-MAZ-ING. I take them everywhere and everyone always raves. Always.
Erica says
Yay for raves! Thanks, Erika!
Amy says
I love/d your refrigerator cake recipe. Sadly, I cannot tolerate almonds anymore. So, this would be a fantastic win!
Erica says
Thanks, Amy! Yes, take a break from almond flour 🙂
Stephanie W. says
I love the coconut flour donuts! It's nice to have a yummy treat with coffee on the weekends.
Erica says
Thanks, Stephanie! There are no less than 3 donut recipes in the book, one of which is the original coconut flour donut with toasted coconut on top.
Bridget says
I love the chicken tikka masala with saffron caulirice. Its one of my all time favorites. Indian food! Yum!
Erica says
ooh, good to hear. My son loved that dish too! Thanks, Bridget.
Denise says
Oh my, how to choose my favorite... I've got 3 I keep coming back to over and over... 1) the banana bread; 2) the fluffy chocolate cupcakes; and 3) the fudge brownies. My family says, YUM! I've earmarked this scone recipe, and am so excited to try it, and then to try substitutions to the chocolate chips. Oh, the possibilities!
Erica says
Yes, I'm going to try currants soon and swap in yogurt! Thanks, Denise!

I was so excited about the choc. chip scone recipe that I completely forgot to say!! My very favorite recipe that I make frequently is the Orange Cranberry Muffins!

Erica says
They are filling! Thanks!
Sylvia Stewart says
I am so excited to try these! My 21 year old son loves chocolate chip scones but I am never partake in them when I make them for him because of the ingredients! These are ones I can make for all of us! I plan to use Cinnamon Chips for Son #2 who doesn't love chocolate! (imagine?!!!)
