Dark Chocolate Blueberry Scones
Good Morning, Friends!
I hope you are having a great week so far!
This past spring, I had the pleasure of rooming with a new blog friend, Ruthie, at the SNAP conference. She is the cutest and sweetest thing ever! {And a whole lot quieter than me.} :) She had to listen to me talk the paint off the wall every night in our rooms. hee.hee.
I was so excited when Ruthie asked to be a monthly food contributor to my blog. She is an AMAZING cook, and I love her recipes. I know you will too. So please give a big “Beneath My Heart Hello!” to Ruthie, and be sure to pop over to her blog after you read this post. Thanks!

I just love Traci, and I’m excited to get to know all of you too.
Today, I wanted to share these
Dark Chocolate Blueberry Scones-
they’re a skinny breakfast scone (but, still delicious)
and full of antioxidants too.
Dark Chocolate Blueberry Scones
3 1/4 C flour
5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/3 C butter, cold
4oz neufchatel cream cheese
1 egg
1/2 C light agave or 3/4 C sugar
1 C lowfat milk
3/4 C fresh blueberries
1/2 C dark chocolate chips
Drizzle Topping:
1/2 C powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in butter and neufatchel cream cheese until resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl mix egg, agave, milk.
Make a well in the flour and pour in liquid; stir just until moistened.
Do not over mix.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth (will be sticky).
Carefully fold in dark chocolate and blueberries until just combined.
Shape into a circle a 1/2 inch thick.
Slice into 10 wedges.
Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on rack.
Drizzle Topping: Combine in a small bowl, mix well, will be very thin.
Drizzle with topping and serve.
Enjoy!
I have a confession- I nearly ate every one of these Dark Chocolate Blueberry Scones all by myself!
