Lightly sweetened sugar free oat floured scones that are chocked full of delicious mini dark chocolate chips.
Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
In a bowl, add flour, salt and baking powder with cold cubes of butter.
Gently work the dough with a pastry cutter or your hands until they resemble coarse crumbs. However, do not overwork the dough.
Next add the sugar, egg, vanilla, and milk, lightly stirring to combine all of the ingredients together until a stiff and sticky dough forms. Again, do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips to incorporate throughout the mix.
Remove dough from the bowl and place it on a lightly floured surface. Form and knead the dough by hand or with a rolling pin into a small rectangle.
Cut the dough with a knife or by using precut cookie cutters, into small triangles, squares, or circles. It's your choice. Baste the tops with either milk, butter or heavy cream. Sprinkle tops with sugar crystals (optional).
Place on a nonstick baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until scones are golden brown.
Serve warm and with butter if desired.
Whenever possible, use organic ingredients.
