Cinnamon peanut butter chocolate chip scone recipe:
cinnamon peanut butter chocolate chip scones
Ingredients
for the scones:
- 2 ⅔ cups all purpose flour + more for dusting your work station
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 ½ tsps baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter frozen then grated using a cheese box grater
- ½ cup + 2 tbsps heavy cream divided
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 10 oz dark chocolate chips
- coarse sugar for sprinkling
for the glaze:
- 2 tbsps butter
- 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1-2 tbsps heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix for a few seconds on med-low to just combine dry ingredients. Add in the grated butter then mix on med-low until a crumble butter flour mixture comes together.
- Add ½ cup heavy cream, melted peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl then mix again on med-low until it just combines. Finally, mix in the chocolate chips.
- Dust a work surface with flour then pour scone dough out onto the surface. Using your hands, work the dough into a 10×6 inch rectangle then slice it into 12 equally sized squares. Place scone squares on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining 2 tbsps heavy cream then sprinkling coarse sugar ove top. Bake in the oven until golden, about 23-28 minutes.
- While the scones are baking, make your glaze: Combine butter, peanut butter, and maple syrup in a small-med microwave safe bowl then microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the powdered sugar, salt, and heavy cream until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze over warm scones then add another sprinkle of coarse sugar and enjoy!
