Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or all purpose flour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp cold butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup diced pears
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with either a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut in cold butter. (You can use a pastry cutter, but it’s not a necessary tool. You can simply add the butter to the flour mixture and cut it with a butter knife repeatedly. Eventually there should be a lot of small pieces of butter incorporated throughout the mixture. You’re good when they’re all smaller than pea-sized.)
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Add the egg, greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
  • Fold in pears and dark chocolate.
  • Place your scone dough on a lightly floured surface. Turn it over a few times to get a little flour throughout the outside so it’s easier to work with. Then press it down into a disc shape. Cut it into 6 triangles and place them on your baking sheet.
  • Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes, or until scones are lightly browned and crisp on the outside and still soft on the inside.
