Best 10 Scones

There's nothing like a freshly baked scone with a cup of tea or coffee. We've rounded up our absolute best scone recipes below — from cozy cinnamon to jewel-toned cranberry to gooey chocolate chip — so you can find your new favorite. Each one is flaky, buttery, and completely doable at home. Take your pick!

Chocolate Chip Pecan Scones

Deeply golden, flaky, buttery scones packed with gooey chocolate chips and crunchy pecans, lightly spiced with cinnamon and vanilla. Bakery-style scones you can make at home in under an hour.

Cherry Almond Scones with Almond Icing

These Cherry Almond Scones are tender, buttery, and flaky with tart dried cherries, almond extract, and a sweet almond icing. Easy to make and perfect for breakfast, afternoon tea, or a cozy coffee break.

Cranberry Orange Scones

Buttery, flaky scones studded with tart cranberries and bright orange zest, finished with a sweet orange glaze — the perfect cozy bake for Christmas morning or any holiday brunch.

Cinnamon Bun Scones

All the cozy, cinnamon-swirled magic of a cinnamon roll — in a buttery, flaky scone you can make in 30 minutes flat. No yeast, no rising, no waiting. Just tender cinnamon-spiced dough baked golden and drizzled with sweet vanilla icing. These cinnamon bun scones are the ultimate weekend breakfast treat with your morning coffee.

Triple Chocolate Scones

About as close as you can get to eating brownies for breakfast — rich cocoa scone dough packed with melty chocolate chunks, dipped in a light vanilla glaze and finished with a chocolate drizzle. Crisp and crumbly at the edges, soft and fudgy in the center, and surprisingly easy (no mixer needed).

Easy Pumpkin Scones (Starbucks Copycat)

Soft, tender pumpkin scones topped with not one but two glazes — a sweet white glaze and a spiced pumpkin drizzle — just like the famous Starbucks fall favorite. No chill time needed, packed with pumpkin pie flavor in every bite, and perfect with a coffee on a crisp morning.

Blueberry Greek Yogurt Scones

Light, tender scones bursting with juicy blueberries and made extra moist with tangy Greek yogurt. They bake up golden and flaky with a protein boost that keeps you full — the perfect impress-your-friends breakfast or afternoon-tea treat, and they freeze beautifully for easy meal prep.

Chocolate Chip Scones

Buttery, flaky scones studded with dark chocolate chips — like a chocolate chip cookie you're allowed to eat for breakfast. Slightly sweet with crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth layers, they come together in one bowl and are perfect with a cup of coffee. Easier than you think, and better than the bakery.

Cheddar & Chive Cheese Scones

Light, fluffy savory scones loaded with sharp cheddar and fresh chives, with a golden cheesy crust. Warm from the oven, split and spread with butter, they're the perfect savory bake for brunch, soup night or afternoon tea — a cheesy twist on the classic British scone.

Royal English Scones (Buckingham Palace Recipe)

The official English fruit scone recipe served at Buckingham Palace garden parties — buttery, tender and just-sweet-enough, dotted with golden sultanas. Serve them warm with clotted cream and strawberry jam and a proper cup of tea. Treat yourself like royalty; it's easier than it looks.
