Now, you know I love me some peanut butter and chocolate together. And I seem to have created quite a number of recipes featuring this flavour combination over the past few months. In fact, when I caught wind of this little scheme and was invited to participate, I had quite literally just posted yet another low carb chocolate and peanut butter recipe and I was a bit tapped out. However, I mustered all my creative energy and got brainstorming. What hadn’t I tried yet, when it came to combining these two beloved ingredients? Cake…been there, done that. Muffins…one of my first low carb recipe, for goodness sake. Cookies…ha, I already have several low carb peanut butter and chocolate cookie recipes here on All Day I Dream About Food. Ice cream…done that too. But I haven’t done scones! Yes yes, scones. I do love scones in the morning and I love peanut butter and chocolate any time of day. Waking up to a delicious low carb peanut butter and chocolate scones to munch while I drink my coffee? Pure heaven. And they were easy to make (bonus!) and tasted divine. I know you’ll love them!
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Scones – Low Carb and Gluten-Free

Thanks to you I’ll be seeking out peanut flour. Where has that been all my life? And I need these scones in my life soon too.
I love chocolate PB fudge. In fact, I just made some up yesterday. Can’t wait for dessert tonight so I can have a chunk. Okay, who am I kidding? I’ll likely eat some way before dessert. 😉
My favorite chocolate/peanut butter treat . . . . Reese’s eggs. I don’t know why they’re better than the regular Reese’s, but they are.
Anything! but of course I like Reese’s cups!
Definitely making these today! Can’t wait to try them!
I love anything pb-chocolate. Have even been known to take spoonful of pb and give it a loving squirt of Hershey’s syrup. Sigh. My favorites are Reese’s cups and chocolate ice cram with pb swirl. Can’t wait to make those scones. They look awesome!
I love peanut butter balls!
PB cupcakes with chocolate ganache.
What type of peanut flour did you use? They one similar to almond meal; ie: ground peanuts?
This was the very powdery kind, but both would work well.
I pretty much love them all, but maybe Chocolate Peanut Butter No-bake Cookies are my favorite!
To be honest…I like to dip one pretzel in PB, another in Nutella, and then sandwich them together. yum!
Chocolate peanut butter cups!
Peanut butter chocolate bacon cookies! mmmm
Chocolate peanutbutter muffins!!!!
I’ve baked with almond flour but never peanut flour! And, now all I can think is, why not?! Love these beautiful scones with their drizzle of chocolate, Carolyn!
Thanks, Stacy!
This. This is my favorite combination of all time!
chocolate peanut butter swirls….yum
Chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirls. No, wait, peanut butter ice cream with chocolate swirls:)
I love any thing with chocolate and peanut butter! I’m going to have to try this recipe!
I made your dark chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting as my birthday cupcakes earlier this month. They were to die for!
