Paleo breakfasts are the most requested recipes we get. I will say you might not want to eat these blueberry chocolate chip scones for breakfast every day but occasionally is great. Not to mention, you can easily swap out the fruits or ingredients to make as many fancy flavors as you want. Pumpkin orange, cranberry walnut, chocolate chocolate chip are just a few ideas that graced my brain to share with you.
Blueberry Chocolate Chip Scones
My favorite way to eat Blueberry Chocolate Chips Scones are when they are still warm from the oven and covered with grass-fed butter or homemade whipped cream. However, sometimes I change up the recipe and create entire new scone flavors that are equally as delicious. For these variations, the entire recipe stays the same except for omitting the dried blueberries and/or chocolate chips.
- Coconut Scones – omit the blueberries and chocolate for a basic but delicious scone.
- Fresh Blueberry Scones – omit the chocolate chips and add 1 cup of fresh blueberries.
- Chocolate Scones – omit the dried blueberries and add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, depending how chocolatey you want your scones.
- Strawberry and Chocolate Scones – replace the dried blueberries with fresh or dried strawberries that are chopped into smaller pieces. You can omit the chocolate and add 1 cup of fresh or dried strawberries for Strawberry Scones.
- Cherry and Chocolate Scones – replace the dried blueberries with fresh or dried cherries. You can omit the chocolate and add 1 cup of fresh or dried cherries for Cherry Scones.
- Raisin and Chocolate Scones – replace dried blueberries with an equal amount of raisins.
- Blueberry and Lemon Scones – omit the chocolate and add the zest of 1 to 2 Meyer lemons, depending how much of a lemon taste you prefer.
- Pineapple and Coconut Scones – omit chocolate and add 1 cup of fresh or dried pineapple that are chopped into smaller pieces.
Of course, there are endless fresh and dried fruit and even nut combinations, but these are the ones that I have tried and loved. If you don’t feel life experimenting, you can make one of my other delicious scones recipes.
Whether you create your own flavor combination or make my recipe for Blueberry Chocolate Chip Scones, I know you’ll enjoy every delicious bite!

How Anabolic Steroids Work: The Science Behind Muscle Building
I would like to try this recipe with coconut flour as I have nut intolerance. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Can you substitute fresh blueberries for dry blueberries and would the amount be the same. Blueberries are in season now and would rather use fresh.
You would use less fresh blueberries
These are great! I used dried cranberries and orange zest instead of the blueberries, chocolate chips and coconut. I also used a flax egg and half the maple syrup. The perfect way to start a day!
So glad you made them work for you and they worked. Thanks for commenting
I gave these a try this morning. I only had 1 cup of almond flour, so I used 1 cup of chestnut flour. As chestnut flour is a bit sweet, I used 2 teaspoons of maple syrup and 1 tbsp of melted coconut oil. The mix was very heavy and solid, verging on dry. I used some dried cranberries and they are awesome with a bit of butter! They have a nice crispy crust on them due to the chestnut flour.
Oh I have never used chestnut flour but I want to try now
Mr. Caveman! Second time I made these delicious scones. Last one I used chickpeas instead of almond, added apple sauce, cocoa powder, 3 eggs instead of 2 to glue it better and almond meal…wowwww! I don’t miss gluten at all, LOVE the flavor, texture and how simple they are to make.
Thank you! delicioso!
So glad to have found your website. It is bookmarked as one my “go to” sites now! Just took these out of the oven and must say they were very yummy! I am hurrying to finish typing this so I can have another one! Didn’t have any blueberries so left them out this time but will add them next time. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe and your story is also very inspiring!
Thank YOU so much for your kind words… Hugs, love and bacon :)
you rock!!! these were awesome. Just had one fresh from the oven (before supper!) and they are amazing! subbed raisins for blueberries. perfect, thanks for all your hard work!
you are so welcome!!
I’ve been doing this paleo for three months now and these were the sweetest thing I’ve had since. So glad to have found your site, the chili and other meat rescipies have been awesome. I love to cook and look forward to new and creative meals, thank you for this site and your service to our country.
Awesome Eric, I am so glad you are sticking to it all and doing well. And your welcome
They are in the oven and smell divine! This will be my dinner tonight. :)
Enjoy
I tried making these the other day and was totally frustrated! It seemed like the ratio of dry to wet ingredients was nowhere near where it needed to be. After mixing the wet into the dry, it was a bowl full of dry ingredients. I desprately added coconut oil, but it didn’t do much. I had to add tablespoon by tablespoon of water as a desperate attempt to transform it into a dough-like texture. Eventually I had a pathetic display of dough and baked it. It just seemed like it wasn’t even remotely close to enough wet to dry. Am I missing something? (I don’t have a food processor. I was doing it by hand.) Thanks!
Erin,
I don’t know. I make this recipe over and over again and it is the same everytime. Did you substitute anything? This sounds really odd
Same here but I added another egg and it turned out fine. I think I’ll try one cup almond flour next time. :)
I tried them out this morning and also had the result of it being overly dry. I just covered the dough and put it in the fridge to work with it when I get home from Thanksgiving festivities. I am not sure what when wrong as the recipe seems relatively simple. Perhaps my egg was very small, or my cups of flour were rounded without realizing it? Whatever the problem, I am hoping it is fixable. They sounds delicious!
Please experiment and let me know if the issues gets resolved :) These scones are delicious, and I want you to experience that!!
I finally made these, and I love them!! I didn’t have dried blueberries, but they still turned out great! I LOVE scones, so it’s nice to have a healthy alternative. They’ve been great for my morning sickness too as food isn’t that all appealing to me lately. Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes!
Oh that’s awesome. I am do glad you love them and you can eat them with your morning sickness :)
I made these last night with blackberries instead of blueberries and 1 tablespoon of honey and one of xylitol instead of syrup and they were absolutely delicious!! Love the website George, keep up the wonderful work! :)
Thank you Rachael :)
I made these last night and they were absolutely delicious! For those curious I used blackberries instead and subbed 1 tablespoon of honey and xylitol each and they were still really sweet. Love the website George, keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you so much Rachael :)
I made these with dried cranberries and no chocolate chips bc my daughter recently revolted when I put choc chips in some paleo almond banana muffins. They were delicious!
So glad you loved them
While craving bacon this morning, I came to your site for bacon recipes…I found this scone recipe and tweaked it by omiting blueberries and coconut, adding bacon, mashed banana, peanut butter and macadamia (why not!) And boy am I in a happy place right now! Thank you for your inspiration!
Holy moly that sounds amazing Wendy
Oh wow, I am drooling. I believe you can only make things better by adding bacon and I look forward to making these with your tweaks, Wendy!
I just made these but with raisins, cinnamon, and walnuts. I remember how good these kinds of scones were pre-grain-free. They came out AWESOME!!! Thanks!!!
Your welcome
I am drooling a little bit….also i am hesitant about the syrup/honey. I try to stay as clean/paleo as I can w/out spiking my blood sugar. I am currently grain/gluten free and as little sugar as I can possibly manage…could I use erythritol (or Swerve) to sweeten them naturally w/out the added sugars of syrup?
I’m also fairly new to the paleo “rules”….it just happens to be how i eat by accident. I didn’t know there were actual rules :)
Thanks for all your hard work George! You look incredible!
Heather
Thank you for the kind words Heather. I am unfamiliar with those ingredients as the only sweeteners I use are honey, maple syrup, or sometimes coconut sugar. It may work but you will have to experiment
Heather, my husband is a diabetic and when his diet is good, and I have Paleo treats onhand, such as Paleo brownies, pancakes, etc., local pure honey and pure maple syrup does not spike his blood sugar. Just an FHI. Has to be pure though and local if possible.
This hit my fb newsfeed just in the nick of time. I needed something to bring to work tomorrow for a birthday.
Can I ask what is with the Enjoy Life chips? I have been seeing them a lot in paleo recipes!
They are a gluten free, grain free, dairy free chocolate chip
I’m severe coconut allergic. Do you think these would come out okay if I omitted that ingredient? Or is there something I can sub for it?
Erica you sure can leave it out and it will be fine :)
I just put this in the oven, lets see how they turn out! =)
I LOVE THESE, hope you do to
I made these as drop cookies. They were delish!
That sounds delicious
Oh my, these look absolutely delicious. Don’t have any blueberries right now, but think they would work without them? I’ll let you know how it goes.
I think they will work fine but wont taste as good lol
I made these last night, so easy, so quick, so good!
So glad you loved them. This is one of my all time favorites
Wow this recipe is amazing. I made a batch with maple syrup as suggested and they were great, but i prefer raw honey as a sweetener so i made another batch with honey instead and they were just as good. Thanks for the great website!
You are so welcome Nathan. I am glad you tried both versions and fell in love. Keep up the great work
What size across are your scones? I only got 3 out of a half-batch! :(
No they arent supposed to be that big, I make them little, maybe 2 inches at the widest part
We just made these this morning. They are awesome!! I used fresh blueberries instead of dried and they turned out excellent:) Thank you for an awesome recipe!!!
You are so welcome, so glad you enjoyed them :)
You are so welcome
These are the best! My whole family loves them. Thank you so much for the awesome recipe!
Baking now.had to add more syrup and some eggwhite to get texture to "mold" into shape
Oh I love these too Jenna, they are amazing
Loving these!
