Tender with a slight nuttiness from the oats, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Scones have the subtle flavor of a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie that you get to enjoy for breakfast!
*Text and recipe from 02/27/13. Images updated 01/19/17.
Today is a continuation of my favorite flavor combination of peanut butter, oats, and chocolate chips. Monday that combination was found in the form of Monster Cookie Bars and today that combination is found in scones. Yes, scones.
This is the first time that I have used oats in a scone recipe, and I was a little apprehensive of how they would turn out. Still, ever since seeing a variation of these scones over on Brown Eyed Baker, I’ve wanted to give them a try.
The oats give the scones a slight chewy texture that is different than most tender, flaky scones. However, I found that the chewiness went well with the peanut butter and chocolate chips. The scone is still tender and far from dry and crumbly.
Just the way that I like them! The peanut butter isn’t over powering and adds a subtle flavor to the oatmeal base of the scones.
So if you like peanut butter chocolate oatmeal cookies, you have to try these peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal scones. Plus, it’s practically like getting to eat cookies for breakfast!
- 1 C white whole wheat flour
- 1 C all-purpose flour
- 1 C quick oats
- ½ C brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ C unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
- ¾ C milk
- 1 egg, separated
- ½ C no-stir natural creamy peanut butter
- ⅔ C + 1 tbsp chocolate chips
- 1 tsp water
- coarse sugar, for sprinkling tops
- Preheat oven to 400. Line a cookie sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a medium bowl, carefully whisk together milk, egg yolk, and peanut butter. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Gently incorporate until just combined. Stir in ⅔ cup chocolate chips.
- Turn dough out unto a lightly floured surface. Pat dough into an 8 inch round. Cut into 8 pieces and place on prepared baking sheet. Whisk together egg white and water. Brush with egg white mixture. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and additional 1 tablespoon chocolate chips.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until just golden brown and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

I’m loving all of the peanut butter and chocolate recipes you’ve posted lately! I’m a suck for that combination, but I’ve never tried pb and chocolate scones. These look wonderful. And I love the addition of oats. I’m sure it gives it a good texture and some extra flavor!

My favorite stuff all in one scone! I like how golden brown they are too. Would it be wrong if I wanted to eat them warmed up with a little butter? To me, that would be perfect 🙂

I’ve been parading myself around as an anti-scone person, but then you show me this. It’s like a cookie in scone-form! I am dying to sink my teeth into one.
Nicole @ youngbrokeandhungry says
As a self proclaimed peanut butter junkie, these scones are right up my ally. Also they are not loaded down with sugar, making my mid afternoon crash a lot gentler.
Alison at NOVA Frugal Family says
I am on a scone kick with my go to being chocolate chip. I was making some nutella oat breakfast cookies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies the other day and I was thinking that it would be a good idea to try to add some oats to my scones. Now I don’t have to think about it, I just have to make this recipe 🙂 It might be tomorrow or the next day! I can’t wait to taste this yummy goodness. Thanks for the great idea!!! I can’t wait to look through your blog and find lots of great recipes 🙂

Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
I’m so glad that you liked them! Thanks for letting me know!
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
Whoa, you used natural peanut butter! I guess if it’s subtle, it’ll work. I’ve always been a disliker of natural peanut butter in baked goods but you have me wanting to try these. They sound and look SO good!
Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
Well, I kind of cheated and used the creamy, no-stir kind. I don’t like how the grainy natural peanut butter bakes up in a lot of things, either!
Jennie @themessybakerblog says
I just whipped up a batch of these scones this morning. They’re in the oven now and smell so good. I can’t wait to eat them. Yum!
Nora @ Buttercream Fanatic says
Oh geez. I have been trying so hard to resist the urge to make – and eat – scones, but these look pretty impossible to pass up. They are gorgeous! And the chocolate chips just make them irresistible.
Yvonne @ bitter baker says
OMG!! I want one of these scones, they look absolutely delicious!
