Double Chocolate Scomuffie

Chocolate lovers will love this Double Chocolate Scomuffie, without a doubt!!  Scomuffies are a cross between a muffin and a scone.

In addition to the double chocolaty goodness is the soft center and the crunchy outside layer.  

Recently, I have been asked if there are any other flavors of scomuffies.  In addition to the Chocolate Covered Berry Scomuffie you can now enjoy this double chocolate scomuffie recipe.  

With the addition of a glaze garnish and a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips makes this a showcase worthy dessert.  

Let’s get started!!  

First of all, gather your ingredients needed to make this double chocolate scomuffie and preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.  

Don’t have buttermilk?  

Do not worry, buttermilk is easy to make with two ingredients.  Milk and lemon juice or white vinegar, in fact!  

You can use any type of milk such as whole, 2%, skim or even almond milk. To make buttermilk, measure 2 tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar in a one cup measuring cup and fill the rest of the cup with your choice of milk.

Stir and let sit of a few minutes. 

The moist center of the scomuffie comes from the cold butter chunks.  Therefore, the butter needs to be cold and cut up in small chunks before added to the flour mixture.  

The next step would be to whip up the egg and combine the egg, buttermilk and vanilla together in a bowl.

Combine the flour, granulated sugar, special dark cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda in the KitchenAid mixing bowl. Add the cold butter chunks to the flour mixture.

Mix about 3 to 5 minutes until the flour mixture looks grainy.  Add the mini chocolate chips and the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix until ingredients are just combined.  DO NOT OVERMIX!  

Time to portion out the double chocolate scomufffie!  

Using a #16 scoop, measure out a level portion of scomuffie dough and roll the top into the sanding sugar.  See the video for a demonstration.

Last of all, bake the scomuffies at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-18 minutes.  Check for doneness with a toothpick.

While scomuffies cool make the glaze by adding 1 1/2 Tbsp milk to the powdered sugar and stir untill smooth. You might need to add more powdered sugar or milk to achieve the desired consistence. Drizzle over the scomuffies and let dry.

Notes

When dipping the scomuffie dough into the sanding sugar you may need to use the other hand to gently lift the dough up and onto the cookie sheet.

Rinse hands in water after a couple of scomuffies have been made because your hands will get really sticky and make it difficult to get them off.

To get the scomuffies off of the cookie sheet easly, line pan with parchment paper, silpat mat or wax paper.
