This is the best scone recipe! Made with whole wheat flour and butter free, loaded with chocolate, caramel and coconut, just like a Samoa Girl Scout Cookie, but healthy! You wont be able to eat just one.
Directions for: Samoa Scones
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (230g)
cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
tsp baking soda
tsp salt
cup chilled coconut oil (so that it's a solid)
cup unsweetened coconut flakes
cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
1 large egg
1 Tbsp full-fat coconut milk
Homemade caramel sauce (link below)
1 - 2 Tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
cup milk chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil, melted
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400F and adjust the rack to the lower-middle position.
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl,mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Grate in the chilled coconut oil and and work in with your fingers. The mixture will look crumble and like little peas.
5. Stir the 1/4 cup of coconut flakes into the mixture.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and egg until smooth.
7. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a fork, until large clumps of dough form.
8. Use your hands to form the dough into a ball.
9. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and pat into a 7-8 inch circle, about 3/4-inch thick.
10. Cut the dough into 8 triangles, separate them, and transfer them to the prepared baking tray.
11. Brush the tops with the coconut milk and bake until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes.
12. Let the scones cool slightly.
13. Pour as much of the homemade caramel sauce onto each scone as your heart desires. Do this on the pan as it gets pretty messy!
14. Sprinkle with coconut flakes.
15. In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until totally smooth and melted.
16. Stir the 1 tsp of coconut oil into the melted chocolate until smooth.
17. Drizzle the melted chocolate over top of the scones.
18. DEVOUR.

How to store scones: Scones are best straight from the oven. They will only stay fresh in an airtight container for 1 day (reheat in the oven, not the microwave!) If they around longer than that, freeze them and lightly thaw in the microwave, and then finish in the oven for 3-4 minutes to ensure that they don't go soft.
