  • 35 minutes
  • 10 ingredients
  • 6 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 TB baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 oz low fat buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • t tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
  3. Add the butter to the flour mixture and cut in with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Do not over mix.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract. Stir the wet mixture into the flour mixture, add chocolate chunks and combine just moistened without overmixing.
  5. With lightly floured hands, knead the dough in the bowl until it comes together and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Press the dough into an 8-inch diameter disk and cut it in 8 wedges or make mini scones by dividing the dough in half and cutting into 8 equal pieces with each half. If desired, brush the top of the wedges with additional buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.
  6. Bake about 18-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack.
