Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 egg separated
  • 3 Tablespoons honey or brown rice syrup
  • 1/2 cup caramel coffee creamer (I used International Delight Simply Pure caramel)
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup caramel chips
  • sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa powder.
  • Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly, using a pastry blender. You should have little pea-size balls throughout this mixture.
  • Separate the egg white and the yolk. Set the egg white aside.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolk, honey, and coffee creamer. Add to the dry mixture and mix until just combined.
  • You don't want to work it too much or it won't turn out quite as flaky. You don't want a cookie batter consistency. Just barely mixed.
  • Add chocolate and caramel chips.
  • Form dough into a ball on a floured surface. Roll or pat out to half an inch in thickness and eight inches in diameter. Cut into eight equally-sized pieces.
  • Transfer to a greased or sil-pat-lined baking sheet. Whisk the egg white until froth forms and brush over the tops of scones. Sprinkle sea-salt on top.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until slightly hardened on the edges.
