Wow, what a busy weekend. My sister was in from Seattle for a wedding shower, so I’ve been visiting with family and eating everything in sight. I have had pizza THREE times this weekend. Three! If you follow me on Twitter, then you might’ve noticed that I went to a Tigers game in Detroit this weekend. Josh had never been to a professional baseball game, and I’m pretty certain he had never been to any major league sporting event. Baseball games lead to veggie hot dogs (yes! They had them. So excited) and then after the game we went to Greektown for a pile of tasty Greek food. Needless to say, I need a little better eating in my life this week.
Enter these tasty, tasty scones. The recipe will look shockingly familiar if you’ve seen my low-fat cinnamon chip scones. They’re 99% identical. In my weekend of miserable for me eating, I had a scone from Starbucks so now I’d like to think I’m qualified to say that these are JUST as good as Starbucks, a fraction of the calories, and made with whole grains. Peanut butter chips may not be the best or most wholesome ingredient, but regular peanut butter just wasn’t working. If you have the time, making homemade ones like these from Chocolate Covered Katie can turn a processed ingredient a little better for you (and ensure that they’re vegan. I’m sure not many commercial PB chips can get the vegan stamp of approval).
I hope everyone else had a slightly more better-for-you weekend and is having a fabulous Monday. Starting Tuesday we are going to *try* for a GF week. If anyone has some great vegetarian and gluten free recipes, please link me to them in the comments. Clearly these tasty scones are not going to make the cut with their whole wheat flour, but maybe I’ll venture into a GF scone (or just make one of my many other delicious muffins that I know adapt to GF nicely).

What is the texture like when replacing the peanut butter chips with more peanut butter? Thanks, they look great!
You wont get a scone-like texture if you sub in more peanut butter. It will be much more dense.
I’m diggin’ them! Your scones look so good…esp with peanut butter! How nice! Seattle is awesome! I can imagine eating so many pizzas! They are so good!
What scrumptious scones! They have great texture for not having any butter. Hope your week went well!
These scones sound absolutely delicious!

I’m not really sure how you managed to work your voodoo magic and make a scone look so delicious and buttery without ANY butter, but whatever magic it is, it worked. DUUUUDE.
Thanks! I’m probably secretly a wizard or something 😉
I love peanut butter, I love chocolate, I love scones, and if they’re healthy it’s a total bonus! These look gorgeous!
Thanks, Sarah! These sound like a match made in heaven for you 🙂
I have been dying to try a scone recipe without butter. When you eat the entire batch like I do, that’s a lot of calories! Love these, pinned!
Thanks, Dorothy! I usually eat at least half a batch… it’s hard not to when they’re so good!
I think three times for pizza in a week is totally acceptable! 🙂
Even if it’s over just 2 days? Hope so 🙂
I have a weakness for PB and chocolate. I’m sure it’s not good for me. . . but I will feel a little less guilty if I make the scones BUTTERLESS! Hello, Sneaky Food!!
These look delicious. I have to try this. I love peanut butter and chocolate together. How long would you say these last? Did they taste good the next day?
Thanks!
Wow I never imagined I would find a butterless scone recipe! Thanks so much for sharing, my breakfast will be very exciting one day this week!
Let me know if you try it out!
This is the best collision of USA and UK trademark munchies! I absolutely love the healthier ingredients list, because scones have always been one of those baked goods that I’ve been too afraid to attempt and healthify.
These are seriously so so easy! Without the butter, there’s none of the difficult steps left. Just mix, cut and bake 🙂
I think I had pizza 3 times this weekend, too. UGH! Back to having some discipline this week 🙂 I LOVE baseball and I’m jealous you went to a game 🙂 These scones are awesome looking!
YES. Ugh, great, now my stomach is grumbling and dinner isn’t going to happen for at least 4 more hours! Seriously, these look amazing!
I am ALLLL about the PB and chocolate combo!!
These look delicious. Good luck with the GF week!
These scones are great after weekend of over eating! Can’t believe they have no butter.
YUM! Sounds like a fun and delicious weekend! I had a lot of ice cream and carby delicious food haha. Trying for more veggies today!!!
Love your scones recipes. It is a great base for many different flavors. I know what you mean about needing to detox after a weekend of overeating!
I cannot believe ho incredible these look and how they’re butterless, and pretty darn ok for you! woot!!
I was pretty excitecd the first time I made scones without using butter! Saves a lot of calories and a TON of work (which is great, because I’m lazy!)
I am AMAZED that these scones are butterless!! And so happy that they’re chock full of PB and chocolate…my two favorites.
Who doesn’t love the PB/Chocolate combo, right? Classic and perfect.
Oh my! Thanks so very much for sharing this recipe! Peanut butter scones! YUM!!!!!

Sounds like gluten-free week means you need to have cauliflower pizza finally! Mmmmmm.
