Coconut Chocolate Chunk Scones – Delicious scones made with coconut oil studded with chocolate chunks and flaky coconut. Perfect to serve for breakfast. Baked to perfection in 15 minutes.
I have this little um, obsession with coconut. The coconut flakes, coconut oil, coconut lotion, coconut body butter. I love the taste. I love the smell.
It somehow magically transforms me to a beautiful beach with crashing waves, white sand and gentle breezes. I could really envision these after a day like today. Which felt like a frantic rush from beginning to end.
Have you ever had days like that? I’m sure you have. The days where you don’t have time to text people back or sign test papers or read a chapter in your current book.
*Sigh* I wish I was reading a book on the beach right now. But I need to snap back to reality and give it my best. But first I’ll start with a tall coffee and a coconut chocolate scone please!
These scones combine two of my favorite flavors that I can now enjoy in one delicious breakfast. As a matter of fact, the whole family had great reviews for these scones. Even my kids loved them and were arguing over who should get the last one.
Surprisingly these whip up very quickly and they make a great breakfast or dessert. If you don’t have a chance to eat them warm out of the oven just zap them in the microwave for a few seconds and the chocolate literally melts in your mouth. You’ll thank me. I just know it!

Melanie these look delicious!! I love chocolate chunks in scones – so good! Pinned 🙂
Thanks for the pin Chelsea!
Can we meet up on the beach please? You bring the scones, I’ll bring the ‘ritas!
Sounds like a good plan Erin!
I love coconut right now too! And just started cooking with coconut milk, and now I can start baking with it. I only use Hawaiian Tropics sunscreen because it smells like coconut.
That’s the sunscreen I use too Natalie. Takes my thoughts straight to the beach.
I hear you on the coconut obsession, Melanie! These scones look incredible. So wish I could bury my toes in the sand while I eat one. 🙂
You and me both. 🙂
I love coconut oil too! And the scones look amazing. I make chocolate chip scones quite often but I’ve never thought to add coconut. I will have to try this recipe next time!
Thanks Ashley! I hope you enjoy it!
I will take a chocolate scone with coconut oil too! I am bringing a thermos of coffee and heading over asap! 🙂
These look so good – I am a huge scone lover and chocolate – why, I dont think I’ve gone a single day without it in my life!
Sounds like a breakfast date Shashi! I’ll be waiting for you. 🙂
I love coconut and chocolate. These look so good I want to run out and get some coconut oil and make them.
You definitely should get some coconut oil. There are many uses for it and it gives that extra boost of coconut flavor.
Mel I am so with you on this one, I’m totally in love with coconut!!!! These look SO good, and I love a good bready scone with a cup of tea 🙂
Thanks Christine. A cup of tea sounds perfect with one of these!
Ooo, these scones look delightful. I would love to try these with coconut milk instead of regular milk for an extra boost of coconut flavor! Yum!
Sounds like a great idea Memoria! Let me know if you try that and how it works out for you. Thanks for stopping by!
A) I feel like every day is a frantic rush from beginning to end! and B) I’ll admit that I’m sometimes iffy about coconut but your description has me thinking I should give it another chance! I LOVE scones, they are probably my favorite breakfast treat! Yours look and sound fabulous. Hope your weekend is off to a great start, dear!
Thanks Allie! I won’t judge you if you still don’t like coconut. 🙂 We all have our likes and dislikes. Have a great Saturday!
YAY coconut!! I feel ya girl, i’m slightly obsessed myself! I don’t feel guilty eating it too since it has so many health benefits 😀 Thanks for this recipe. I’m gonna have to make it because scones are my favorite! Enjoy the weekend!
I know fatty but good fatty. I hope you get a chance to make them!
LOVE baking with coconut oil! Your scones look simply perfect and I love their icing! Beautiful photos too! 😉
These looks delicious Melanie! I haven’t gotten into baking with coconut oil. I wish I could find a small container of it so I can try. My guys are huge coconut fans. Can you taste the coconut or is just the fragrance?
I’ve only been a recently become a coconut lover and now I can’t get enough of it. Scones are one of my favorite things to bake. These look absolutely delicious Melanie!
I’m a big lover of the coconut + chocolate combo as well, so these scones are right up my alley! Oh, how I’d love one of them with a mug of warm tea right now. They sound delicious!
Oh these look delicious! I totally love coconut, and don’t get me started on chocolate! Love that they are made with coconut oil.
Melanie these look absolutely outstanding! I love anything with coconut in it and I bet the coconut oil makes these scones super moist. My husband was just asking me for something other than cereal to eat for breakfast, these might just be it! 🙂 Thanks Girl, pinned!
Oh YUM, these sound delicious. I have just started to experiment with baking with coconut oil and I’ve found I really like it. You have some of my favorite things in these scones, I’m going to have to try them out! Thanks!
These are delicious but of course that’s because I love coconut and chocolate. Hope you get a chance to try them. 🙂
I just discovered this recipe on Pinterest today and decided to try it since I had all the ingredients. So glad I did, the scones turned out fantastic! I subbed dried cranberries for the chocolate as I am sharing them with my mom who prefers not to have chocolate in her baked goods (I know!). No worries as I plan to try the recipe again as written, very soon. Yum, can’t wait!
That’s awesome Debbie! Thanks so much for the positive feedback. Always appreciated for others who are contemplating making it. So glad they turned out well for you.
I can’t imagine not liking chocolate in my baking goods. But sometimes my hubby feels that way too!
Yesterday I asked him what he was in the mood for me to bake and he said “Something without chocolate chips.” Haha! 🙂
Stop by again soon.
These were delicious! What kind of glaze did you put on yours?
It was just a simple glaze made of confectioner’s sugar, milk and a drop of vanilla. About 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar, about 1 tablespoon of milk (just until easy to mix and pour) and a drop of vanilla extract.
Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll try that the next time I make them!
