I love getting chocolate chip scones from Whole Foods – they are so good and I still have no idea how they do it. Well these scones are a pretty fabulous substitute since we live an hour from Whole Foods now. I’ve tried many different recipes and these are by far my favorite ones to recreate at home.
Chocolate Chip Scones
- 1/3 cup soy milk plus 1 tsp apple cider vinegar – mixed 5 minutes ahead of time
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling the tops
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2.5 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup soy creamer (or soy milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add the sugar, salt, and chocolate chips to the sifted mixture. Next, add the oil, soy creamer, soy milk/apple cider mixture, and vanilla. Mix until just combined – do not over mix. Drop by 1/4 cupful onto a greased cookie sheet and pat the tops to flatten them out a bit. Sprinkle with a little bit of sugar. Bake 12 minutes so that they are slightly browned on the bottom and firm on the top.
