Strawberry Chocolate Chip Scones

There’s something undeniably comforting about a warm scone fresh from the oven – crisp edges, tender crumb, and just the right touch of sweetness. These Strawberry Chocolate Chip Scones take that classic comfort and give it a fruity, chocolatey upgrade perfect for brunch, afternoon tea, or a cozy breakfast treat.

The base of this recipe is a traditional scone dough made with cold butter, flour, and just enough cream to bring everything together. The magic happens when you fold in chunks of fresh strawberries and a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips. The strawberries add juicy bursts of flavor, while the chocolate melts into little pools of richness, making each bite feel like dessert.

To keep the strawberries from releasing too much moisture, toss them in a bit of flour before mixing them into the dough. This small step helps maintain that signature crumbly scone texture without making the dough soggy. The key to a perfect scone is not overworking the dough, mix just until it comes together, then shape it gently and cut into wedges or circles.

Before baking, brush the tops with a little cream and sprinkle with raw sugar for a crisp, golden finish. Once baked, the scones are light, tender, and slightly crisp on the edges, with the irresistible aroma of strawberries and warm chocolate filling your kitchen.

These scones are best enjoyed slightly warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. They pair beautifully with a cup of tea or a cappuccino, making them a lovely way to start a weekend morning or treat yourself during the day.

Whether you’re baking for guests or simply indulging in a little self-care, Strawberry Chocolate Chip Scones offer a sweet, bakery-worthy experience right from your own oven. They’re simple, satisfying, and just a little bit special, proof that the best things in life are often baked with love and shared with joy.
