Peanut Butter Scones

Yes, I have made more scones. I tell you I have fallen in love with scones. My daughter Krista is perfectly okay with this, she loves scones maybe even more than I do. It was Krista who had requested peanut butter scones a while ago. She is also a big fan of peanut butter, which I love peanut butter as well. So I was fine with making a recipe of scones that included peanut butter.

I actually didn’t find a recipe that really appealed to me, so I combined several recipes to make one that sounded good. I decided to add a little topping to the scones, if you look at my past recipes for scones I usually add a little glaze for a little more flavor. My family is into frosting, I guess they like the sweetness that it adds.

These scones are a little on the dryer side. I thought may be a little too dry, but Krista informed me that is how she likes her scones and she found nothing wrong with them. So if you like peanut butter scones I hope you try these. If you don’t like icing on your scones feel free to omit the icing, it will be okay with me.

Peanut Butter Scones

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup butter
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
3 tsp baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease baking pan.
Mix together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Cut in butter and peanut butter until mixture there are no pieces of butter larger than a pea. Add the egg and milk, mix well until it makes a soft dough. Divide the dough into 2 balls. Pat each ball into 3/4 inch thick circles, cut each circle into 6 wedges. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Let cool on racks.

Peanut butter icing:
About 2 tablespoons peanut butter (warm in microwave until the peanut butter gets a little runny).
Add a dash of milk
Add enough powder sugar to make a thin icing. (about 1/4 cup)
If icing gets to thick add a little more milk to thin out
Drizzle over cooled scones

Chocolate icing
Melt about 1/4 cup of milk chocolate chips with about a 1/2 teaspoon of shortening.
Drizzle over cooled scones along with the peanut butter icing

    Substituted mayo for eggs because I didn’t have any. Added mini chocolate chips omitted chocolate glaze. I like a dryer more crumbly scone and this is my favorite recipe yet! They were delicious and husband and two little ones loved them. I am going to try omitting the peanut butter glaze because it was a little too sweet. Also, I am going to try to make it with sesame tahini and make it a peanut free gluten free version for a friend. This is a recipe I will make over and over again and share with friends and family. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!!!

      Thank you for stopping by. I am so happy that you enjoyed this recipe. My family likes a little bit of sweetness on scones, so that is why I added the
      chocolate and peanut butter glazes. I hope you will stop by again soon!
