Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, for cutting in)
- 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 2 sheets graham crackers, coarsely crushed
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows or marshmallow bits
Glaze
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold unsalted butter to the dry mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step creates the flaky texture in your scones.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Mix-ins: Pour in the milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Stir just until everything starts to come together. Then fold in the crushed graham crackers, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows carefully to evenly distribute the mix-ins without overworking the dough.
- Shape the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5 to 6 times until it holds together. Shape the dough into an 8-inch circle and cut into 8 equal wedges. Place these wedges spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the scones are starting to turn light golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool before glazing.
- Prepare Glaze: While the scones cool, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar and salt in a small bowl. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and water, then add marshmallows and stir continuously until melted and smooth. Combine this marshmallow mixture with the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Glaze and Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle the marshmallow glaze over the cooled scones. Then melt the dark chocolate chips or wafers according to package instructions and drizzle the melted chocolate over the scones. Allow all to cool so the glaze and chocolate harden before serving.
- Storage: Store any leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use cold butter for cutting in to achieve the best flaky texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.
- Mini marshmallows can be substituted with marshmallow bits for easier mixing.
- You can use milk or dark chocolate chips according to your taste preference.
- Ensure the scones are fully cooled before applying glaze and chocolate drizzle to prevent melting.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and milk with plant-based alternatives.
