The Ultimate Coconut Scones

Y’all.  This is, hands down, my best scone recipe to date.  I may just give up on making any other scone for the rest of my life…and I’m only 10% kidding on that one.  Really.

Picture this:  moist and flaky, dense and airy, with the perfect crumb.  Tasting ever so lightly of coconut – but not overpowering.  Buttery.  Warm.  Drizzled with a simple glaze, a pat of butter, or just eaten plain.  Breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  Crisp, chewy, crumbly.

 

Y’all, I know on here I can be a tad dramatic, but this scone takes the cake.  And all I’m sayin’ is you need to make them STAT.

 

It’s love on a plate…and who can turn down love on a plate?

 

That’s what I thought…let’s get rollin’!

THE ULTIMATE COCONUT SCONES

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 5 Tbsp butter, cut into cubes and very cold
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (yes, you can use the coconut milk chunks) (you really should use full-fat if you want full flavor!)
  • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Preheat your oven to 450.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.  In a food processor pulse together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.  Add in the butter and pulse a few times until the mixture is crumbly.  Add the shredded coconut and pulse 2-3 times, just to mix.  Pour into a large bowl and add the coconut milk; using a spoon mix together until the dry ingredients are incorporated.  Press into a 9-inch circle and cut into eighths.  Place on baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms are just slightly browned.  Serve hot with a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk, with a pat of butter, or just plain!

Have I mentioned these are perfect and fail-proof yet?  Oh, I did?  About a million times?  Good – just wanted to make sure y’all were listening 🙂

      Hey Liz! I don’t see why not – just a drop or two should be good!

    These are the best scones EVER! I finish mine with a ginger glaze (coconut milk, powdered sugar, and mined fresh ginger) then top with toasted coconut. I constantly get requests for these! As such, I have started making double batches and freezing individual scone portions unbaked. Pop them frozen in the toaster oven at 450 and they still come out great 🙂

    These are heavenly! I highly suggest using coconut milk with powdered sugar to make a glaze for them. Though I’m sure they’re tasty alone, we added a handful of dark chocolate chips to the dough and WOW, what an amazing treat 🙂 Two-thumbs up!

    Is it ok to substitute full fat coconut milk with coconut cream or is that too rich? Could I water it down a bit?

      i’ll be honest, i’m not totally sure as i didn’t try it with coconut cream. i would imagine that it would be good to water down a bit though!

    These sound fabulous! I find that coconut makes any baked good better… more moist and more flavorful!

    Heather…these look ah-mazing. I was having an extreme scone craving yesterday and basically tried to make coconut scones, only gluten-free. Didn’t turn out well. I will give these a try! Thank you so much!
    MANGIA!!!

    […] The basic ingredients for scones are flour, baking powder, butter, sugar & milk. Practically any one of these ingredients can be played around with. Whole-wheat flour or brown sugar or coconut milk or solidified coconut butter… you can even add dried berries, nuts etc. The possibilities are endless. Boy, was I glad I found this recipe. […]
