Dark Chocolate Blueberry Scones (Guest Post)

July 22, 2015

You guys, scones are my jam, especially when blueberries are in season (i.e. NOW!). If you add chocolate, even better, which is why these dark chocolate blueberry scones speak to me!

Blueberries are in peak season here in beautiful Southern California (which is where today’s guest post is coming from). Hiking, grilling, beach days and poolside lounging with cool summer breezes are in full effect. I don’t consider it summer unless you enjoy the full offering that nature brings, which includes being outdoors.

What about the days where you just want a lazy morning or to enjoy the AC for a bit? That’s where these Dark Chocolate Blueberry Scones come in handy. Perfect comforting baked goodness you can enjoy anytime. Summer fruits are some of my favorites; strawberries, cherries, watermelon and of course blueberries. The dark chocolate and blueberries create a joyous pairing for these sweet and moist scones. This recipe is easy to make and quite fun! You can get your hands dirty and enjoy the therapeutic process of making dough at the same time. Butter, as well as blueberry yogurt, make these scones moist and flaky.

To be honest, this recipe is inspired by summer fruits, and I took a creative detour to make it work. While fresh blueberries are in season, this recipe is designed so it can be enjoyed year round, rain or shine. The way this is accomplished is with dried blueberries. I tried this with fresh blueberries, but found dried work best. The dough for scones is thick and needs to be kneaded. That pressure isn’t friendly on delicate fresh blueberries. The dried blueberries stay intact and prevent over-moist and blue dough; both not good for baking scones.

Enjoy these summer inspired blueberry scones any time, even from the comfort of your house with a cozy cup of coffee; or take on the go for a beautiful picnic. Either way, enjoy and have a wonderful summer!
