I made these a few days ago and they are delicious. I opted to use Almond Milk because I’m not fond of Soy, but loved the flavour of these scones. It’s the perfect amount of chocolatey goodness, without being too sweet! They were a hit at my house, and were gone within a day and a half. Thanks for the recipe.
pleasure! thanks for the feedback!
Hey Liz — thanks for your beautiful comment!
great! thanks for noting the adjustments for other readers
These look delicious. Looking forward to baking these this week. Will have to use less sugar and skim milk though for health reasons. Thank you for sharing.
I can only imagine the seductive fragrance of these potent chocolatey treats wafting through my home. I would opt for using butter and milk, though, since parve isn’t an issue at breakfast. For those with dairy intolerance, it is great to see this non-dairy breakfast recipe.
Just made these. They were good, but used almond milk instead of the soy milk and for the instant espresso powder, I used a packet of the Taster Choice Vanilla flavored instant coffee. Thanks for the receipe.
