Baking in Your Crockpot
Slow cooker baking is something I enjoy a lot. Normal baking too, but this way fits into my busy life a bit better!
These chocolate chip scones are quick and easy to make, and if you are a real slow cooker aficionado you can make your main meal in one slow cooker, and an easy dessert in another at the same time.

How to Make Scones in your Crockpot?
If you look at your slow cooker as being a pot like a Dutch oven or cast iron casserole dish it helps. Your dough will bake with the contact with the walls of your slow cooker.
So for this recipe for slow cooker scones you make up your scone dough the normal way, i.e. place the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture is the texture of rough breadcrumbs. Stir in the milk. Stir in your filling (chocolate chips).
Form the dough into a round, score the top.
Line your slow cooker with a cake case (as shown in the photo above) or with baking parchment.
Place the dough on the case/parchment.
Cook on high for around 1.5 hours or until a knife or skewer poked into the centre comes out clean. Make sure you use a dish towel under the lid to stop water from dripping on top of the scone.
The scones are very tasty with a cup of tea. Enjoy for breakfast too!

Hello, I will be making this later on today. Is this cooked on a low or high heat setting?
Thank you.
Hi Michelle in the recipe card it says cook on high for approximately 1.5 hours or until cooked through. I hope it goes well for you!
As a passionate lover of scones, I can guarantee that your recipe is one of the best ones I’ve tried! Can I use coconut milk next time?
I have just finished making the choc chip scone in the slow cooker and it has turned out divine and smell heavenly. I am resisting trying a piece as taking it with me to see family tomorrow. But shall definitely make this very simple scone again, so I can try it warm.
Brilliant, I am so glad you enjoyed it!
This may be silly….but can you convert it to American measurements? I tried to figure it out and it’s not working out.
Thank you!
Hi Justine, sure I will try!
Your inventiveness in terms of what can be made in a slow cooker always blows me away!! So cool to do scones like this!
Oh yum! These look really tasty. The chocolate chip twist is a lovely alternative instead of dried fruits like Helen says.
These look fabulous and I’m wondering why I’ve never thought to put chocolate chips in a scone before!? I always seem to stick to raisins. How boring!
Thanks Helen, well raisins are good in there too of course!
