Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Labelled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Flour:<\/strong> I've used a mix of all-purpose and oat flour here. All-purpose flour makes them light, while oat flour makes them hearty and adds a bit of texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter:<\/strong> This recipe uses cold<\/em> salted butter. You can also use plant-based butter or cold, solid coconut oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk:<\/strong> I combined regular, full-fat milk with white vinegar to make buttermilk, which gives an incredibly light and fluffy texture! Like in my chocolate chip buttermilk scones<\/a> and homemade cornbread recipe<\/a>. You can use any kind of milk you like - almond milk<\/a>, oat milk<\/a>, cashew milk<\/a>, or soy milk. Store-bought buttermilk works very well here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> White granulated sugar works well, though you can use raw or cane sugar as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon:<\/strong> The star flavor of this scone recipe - warming, cozy, and aromatic. I like to use Ceylon cinnamon. Use any kind you enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaveners:<\/strong> Baking powder and baking soda help the scones rise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate chips:<\/strong> I love dark chocolate chips. They balance the sweetness of cinnamon and vanilla so well. But feel free to go all-in with whatever kind of good baking chocolate<\/a> you love! Add as much (or less) as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
