How to make scones that taste like cinnamon rolls

I love using cinnamon chips for baking delicious breakfast goodies like cinnamon chip muffins or pancakes, especially during the fall and winter months.

Cinnamon is such a warm spice and it tastes so good especially when baking and this recipe tastes like your are eating warm cinnamon bun scones right out of your hand!

Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees and getting your work station together.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. 

Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in vanilla extract and 2/3 cup half-and-half until just moistened. 

Gently fold in cinnamon baking chips.

On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently 5 to 10 times.

Pat into a 1-inch-thick round.

Cut into 8 wedges; place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, 2 ” apart.

Brush tops with 1 Tbsp half-and-half, sprinkle each with sugar and cinnamon.

Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

Let cool on wire rack.

Having a hard time finding cinnamon baking chips in the store or on Amazon? You can order them online and have them sent right to your door! I found these cinnamon baking chips for a great price- Large 30 oz for $5.99 and Small 11 oz for $4.99.

Additional toppings for scones from scratch

Scones from scratch are actually very easy to make if you have the right tools and your favorite ingredients, you can enjoy these delicious bites of heaven as often as you like and with these add ins.

• Extra cinnamon if you don't have cinnamon chips, add in an additional 1 teaspoon cinnamon to make these delicious cinnamon sugar scones!

If you are looking for savory scones to add to your brunch table, try our pepperoni pizza scones or cheddar bacon scones! They are delicious and make a wonderful lunch with a side salad or bowl of butternut squash soup!
