Raspberry and Dark Choc Scones Recipe
Makes 45 mini or 24 large scones | Prep 25 to 30 minutes
Making these delicious Raspberry and Dark Choc Scones is easier than you might think. With just a handful of ingredients and a trusty air fryer, you can have warm, freshly baked scones in no time. So let's get started on making this tasty recipe.
Ingredients:
- 400 g (3 ½ cups) self-raising flour
- 20 g butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 125 ml (½ cup) Greek-style natural yoghurt
- 125 ml (½ cup) milk
- 60 g (½ cup) frozen raspberries
- 45 g (⅓ cup) dark chocolate chips
Method:
-
Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the basket of the air fryer, making evenly spread small holes to allow air flow. Set aside.
-
Add flour, butter, egg, vanilla, yoghurt, and milk into a high-speed food processor and blitz until a crumbly consistency is achieved.
-
Add raspberries and chocolate chips and mix in by hand.
-
Turn out the mixture onto a WMBT Placie or a well-floured bench and quickly knead the raspberries and chocolate chips into the dough until well incorporated. Do this as quickly as possible as the raspberries will make the dough wet as they defrost.
-
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to around 1 cm thick. Cut out mini scones using a small cookie cutter and place onto parchment paper, leaving space between each one. In batches, bake at 160° C for 8-10 minutes or until golden and cooked through. If making larger scones, increase the baking time to 12-15 minutes.

Customising Your Raspberry and Dark Choc Scones
The adaptability of this recipe is one of its best features. You can simply modify the recipe to your liking or substitute items based on what you have in your cupboard. Here are some inventive variations to try out:
- Swap raspberries with blueberries, strawberries, or your favourite fresh, freeze-dried or frozen fruit.
- For a sweeter flavour, use white chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate.
- For added crunch and nutrients, toss in some chopped nuts or seeds like almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds.
- Replace the self-raising flour with wholemeal flour and the Greek-style yoghurt with plain yoghurt or mashed bananas for a low-fat option.
- Use gluten-free self-raising flour or a combination of almond flour and coconut flour to make the scones gluten-free.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the scones for 12-15 minutes at 180°C until golden brown and cooked through.
- Switch to savoury by removing the sugar and replacing it with shredded cheese, herbs, and spices of your choice.
These are just some ideas to get you started, but feel free to experiment and come up with your own version of our Raspberry and Dark Choc Scones.
