Gluten Free Double Chocolate Scones

Gluten Free Chocolate Scones?! Yes, please!

My kids love scones. They love them for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and desserts. They will pretty much eat them anytime, so I love coming up with new gluten free scone recipes.

These scones are definitely more on the dessert side because they are sweet and contain quite a bit of chocolate, which is why I named them double chocolate.

Now, don’t get me wrong, my kids would love these for breakfast, but I try to save them for a fun dessert type treat. I do think they would be perfect for a holiday or birthday breakfast though. What a fun treat chocolate scones would be for breakfast!
