Tender low carb scones full of peanut butter and chocolate chips and drizzled with a peanut butter and chocolate glaze. You don’t want to miss this for breakfast! Happy Chocolate & Peanut Butter Day!!!
Do you know what today is? It is a very, very special day, one near and dear to my heart. It is truly an important day all the world over and you want to sit up and take note, my friends. Because today is pure magic. Today is the first annual Chocolate Peanut Butter Day! Yes, yes, it’s a real holiday – if by real, you mean made up by a few fellow bloggers for the sole purpose of making and consuming copious amounts of chocolate and peanut butter treats. It is the brain child of Carla of Chocolate Moosey and Miriam of Overtime Cook and includes 31 bloggers posting delicious recipes from cookies to parfaits and everything in between. We are also teaming up with OXO, King Arthur Flour and Peanut Butter & Co to bring you three wonderful prize packs so don’t miss the giveaway. And you can follow along in the fun all day by following our Pinterest board and the hashtag #chocPBday on social media.
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
Ingredients
Scones:
- 2 cups almond flour
- ¾ cup peanut flour
- ½ cup Swerve Sweetener
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ⅓ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoon cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Glaze:
- 2 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1 oz sugar-free dark chocolate
Instructions
- For the scones, preheat oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, peanut flour, sweetener, and baking powder. Stir in chocolate chips.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, combine peanut butter and butter and cook on high in 20 second increments until melted, stirring in between.
- Add peanut butter mixture, eggs, cream and vanilla to almond flour mixture and stir until dough comes together.
- Divide dough in half and transfer to baking sheet. Pat into 2 circles about 6 inches in diameter and 1 inch high. Cut each into 8 wedges and carefully lift the wedges and spread out on baking sheet, leaving 1 inch between each scone.
- Bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until just firm to the touch and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool.
- For the glaze, melt butter and chocolate together in a microwave safe bowl on high, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted.
- Stir to combine and then drizzle over scones. Let set 10 minutes.

These look absolutely delicious! I can’t believe they aren’t full of sugar and white flour and the like. Must make these!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are typically my favorite although I might have a new favorite when I try this recipe out!
Ibchick says
Peanut butter ice cream with chocolate peanut butter cups inside!
Anna E. says
I gotta go with my first peanut butter/chocolate love: the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.
Kathleen says
Low carb peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips. This looks like it would be similar. Will need to find some peanut flour and try them.
V says
I love peanut butter but I end up trowing my peanut flour but it was too strong flavor for me. Too much roasted? I love your pictures!
Becca from ItsYummi! says
I’m so completely smitten with every little part of this post, Carolyn. Those delicious scones aside, oh how I wish I could take photos as beautiful as yours!
Laura Phillips says
I love almost anything that has peanut butter and chocolate — brownies, Reese’s cups, or even a square of dark chocolate paired with a spoonful of peanut butter.
Kimberly says
I don’t actually get to eat peanut butter, but I do really love an chocolate dipped almond butter cookie, so that’s pretty close.
Iya says
I’m a chocolate AND peanut butter fanatic, so I basically like all of them… Hmm, if I were to choose, though, it would have to be cheesecake. Glorious choco-PB cheesecake.
Lauren Kelly Nutrition says
Ok, you amaze me! These look awesome! Great pictures too my friend 🙂
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says
Since I just discovered that I actually like scones if they are homemade I definitely have to try this. How could they get any better than with peanut butter?!
patricia says
OMG, I love scones. I have never used peanut flour before., guess I will have to get some.
Maria says
PB & scones? The perfect marriage! 🙂
Courtney @ Neighborfood says
I’ll take any excuse to eat drippy, gorgeous chocolate for breakfast!
Susan says
Mmmm… I love scones! Their so easy yet so fancy. And since these are low carb is guess that means I can eat that many more of them!!
Jolene says
Thank you, Carolyn! I, too, am a chocolate and peanut butter lover (and scones, too)! Looking forward to making these!
Jessica H says
Reeses PB cups FOR SURE!
Anita at Hungry Couple says
I was waiting for this recipe to see how you made it low carb. I guess I’m going to have to place an Amazon order because I can’t find any of those ingredients around here. You have no idea how many places I’ve gone to for the Swerve with no luck.
Kayle (The Cooking Actress) says
how creative!!! that’s amazing how you’ve made something that looks so sinful low carb!!!
