I am loving all the fresh fruit that I can buy right now. In fact I think I have only eaten fruit today…… And when the fruit starts to “turn” before I can eat it all, I find a recipe to use it in. And that is just where I got the idea to make these.

Strawberry Choc.-Chip Scones
*adapted this from Cook with Sara’s: Strawberry Scones*
2 Eggs
1/2 C. FF Sour Cream
1 C. FF Milk
4 1/2 C. Flour
1 1/2 C. Sugar
2 TBSP. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt
1 C. Margarine; cubed in pieces
2 C. Fresh Strawberries; chopped
1 tsp. Almond Extract
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 C. Mini Chocolate Chips
Preheat Oven to 425
Start by beating together the milk, sour cream, almond extract, cinnamon and eggs then set aside. In a large bowl or mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the pieces of Margarine and cut together until well blended. Next add the cho.-chips and coat with flour mixture.Doing the same with the strawberries. Pour in the wet ingredients, stir well. Turn out onto a parchment lined sheet pan, forming into 1 or 2 rounds. Using a lightly sprayed knife cut into the desired portion size. I then sprinkled with just a bit more of sugar.
Bake on middle rack in the oven for 20-24 minutes or until center is done. Make sure to allow the scones to totally cool before separating.
*Some things you might want to add: coconut, almonds, orange or lemon zest. You could make a nice glaze to top it off as well.
*Note: These are NOT a sweet scone*
Happy Baking!

I LOVE scones! I like trying new variations so I’ll have to add this to my list!
They must taste like chocolate covered strawberries.
I’ve never made scones. But your recipe with strawberrie and chocolate chips looks wonderful.
That’s a great idea! I usually use up fruit for a cobbler or pie,but this would be something different.
I love this recipe…as a huge fan of scones, I know I will enjoy this! Thanks so much! I came here from Sweet as Sugar Cookies! So glad to meet you! I admire your work to find a cure!
