I have been on a tea kick lately because I’ve been under the weather and having a tough time sleeping. So I wanted something to munch on with my tea. What could be better than scones? Chocolate Covered Katie has a great recipe with almonds but I only had wasabi almonds and I don’t think that’d be a tasty combination so I used almond milk and lemon and zest. My daughter enjoyed these as well.

1 2/3 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt or less
2 T oil (coconut, canola, or olive)
3/4 cup almond milk
1T lemon
Almost full cup chocolate chips
Lemon zest

Preheat oven to 375. In a cup combine milk and lemon and put aside. Mix dry ingredients well by hand or in food processor. Add wet adding buttermilk mixture last. Mix until just combine and transfer to baking tray. Kneed until no longer sticky and roll out. Cut into squares or circles on tray and bake 15 min.
