A buttermilk scone flavored just like your favorite chocolate chip cookie. Now you can eat a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast - guilt free.
I'd made cranberry scones before, and I wanted to try another kind of scone, so when I saw this recipe on Skinny Taste, I knew I had to feature it on Five Friday Finds. I mean, who doesn't want to eat a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast - and guilt free?! Plus, these chocolate chip scones are quick and simple to make!
I also added some nuts since I like my chocolate chip cookies with walnuts. Walnuts have lots of antioxidants and heart healthy omega-3s. You can add any extras you like in your chocolate chip cookies to these scones and make them even tastier!
Which "extras" do you like in your chocolate chip scones?

I pretty much adore ANY type of scones...these look great. Wish I had one to go with my coffee right now, actually. I love a good savory scone w/ cheese and bacon, as well. Mmmmm....

I love how tasty and easy scones are too! I've had those bacon cheese scones too, and I think they're my favorite. :)

I mean...bacon and cheese...how could they not be ;) . Thanks so much for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Hard to go wrong with bacon and cheddar. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the invite - hope you enjoy!
I bet the buttermilk is perfect for these! And I like the idea of walnuts paired with the chocolate chips!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Tasty Thursday!
Buttermilk made for a better consistency/texture. I always like some walnuts in my chocolate chips - helps it feel like "more" while making them healthier. :)
