Dairy Free Scones with Chocolate Chips

I don’t think you can ever have too many breakfast recipes. This chocolate chip scone recipe is one of our favorites. These chocolate chip sones have no heavy cream, in fact they are dairy free scones. Another plus is you can make them in the skillet, so you don’t have to heat up the house on warmer days to bake them.

Scones have you made them before? They are so good and easy to make too. We like to eat ours warm with a little butter or homemade freezer jam. If you add a little chocolate then they are almost perfect. I think the only baked breakfast item I like better is a yeast bread. But these easy to make scones come in a really close second.

My friend Erin shared this recipe for Chocolate Chip Scones she had received from a friend at church. It looked like such a good recipe I knew I wanted to try it. I adapted the recipe to make dairy free scones for my family.

I like to bake the scones, in my electric skillet (affiliate link) in the warmer months of the year, to keep from heating up the house. They bake up quite nicely in the skillet too. In the cooler months, I’ll make them in the oven to help warm up the house.

If you need some other great breakfast ideas be sure to check out the double chocolate donuts that are baked instead of fried. I also have a recipe for baked maple bars.

I think they are my favorite for breakfast. Or take some time to browse all the breakfast recipes. You can never have too many ideas for breakfast.

Making the Dairy Free Scones with Chocolate Chips

If you can mix up muffins, scones really aren’t much harder to make. Just measure out the dry ingredients into a nice big bowl or in the food processor. Then cut in the margarine. If you are using a food processor cutting in the butter is really easy, just pulse.

If you are cutting in margarine by hand, I like to use my hands. I just pinch the pats of margarine between my fingers until I feel the stickiness of the butter. Then I let it go.

I repeat this step over and over mixing it with the dry ingredients, until the margarine is nice and cut in, about pea-sized pieces or smaller.

Add in the milk, at our house I use soy milk with vinegar instead of buttermilk to make these dairy free scones. But if you can eat buttermilk and have it go for it. Add the milk to the food processor and run just process until the dough forms a ball.

By hand, stir until the dough is mixed well and comes together.

I like to knead in the chocolate chips at this point and then pat it out into a circle. Then cut the dough like a pizza, into 8 triangles. I actually have found that my pizza cutter works great for cutting the dough.

All that is left is to bake them in the oven or in an electric skillet. We love to serve them warm with butter and a little home jam, I think I already mentioned this but just in case you missed it. If I’ve convinced you to give these dairy free scones a try, grab the recipe below.

  1. I’m glad that the soy milk and margarine worked in the recipe so that you could have dairy-free treats for your kids!  And I’m also glad to see how nicely they cook up in the skillet.  I’ll have to try it the next time I make them 🙂

  2. I’ve never made scones before. I love them though, with a cup of tea and a little bit of butter. These look delicious. I will have to try these!

  3. These look really good. I love that I can make them in a skillet and I don’t have to use the oven.

    Scones are always the perfect snack to have – chocolate chips you say? Perfect and Yummy!

  6. These scones look really amazing. My favorite breakfast recipe is a french toast that you bake in the oven. I make it the night before and pop it in the oven while we are getting ready for the day.
