Funfetti Cake Mix Scones

Funfetti Cake Mix Scones are an easy scone recipe that starts with a cake mix! These have chocolate chips and sprinkles and are such a fun treat for breakfast or dessert on a birthday or all year long.

Cake Mix Scones with Sprinkles

Take your favorite cake mix flavor and make scones! These are funfetti (yellow cake with sprinkles) flavor and they’re SO fun.

• The cake mix makes them EASY as ever!
• The cake mix keeps them soft for days – never dry!
• Add whatever sprinkles or mix ins you like
• Use whatever flavor cake mix!

Ingredients in Cake Mix Scones

• Funfetti Cake Mix – you could also use plain yellow cake mix or any flavor. I prefer Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines brands
• Flour – you just need a bit of extra flour to take these from cake to scones.
• Cold Butter – dice it then place it back in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
• Milk – heavy cream or regular milk is best to keep these moist.
• Sprinkles – because they’re fun and pretty!
• Chocolate Chips – optional but love chocolate in everything!

How to make scones out of cake mix

• Stir cake mix and flour in a large bowl. Add cold buttered use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until it is crumbly.
• Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour the milk in the center. Stir gently, keeping the dough in the center of the bowl, until the milk is incorporated.
• Stir only until the mixture comes together (there will be small chunks of butter still, and that’s okay).
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Sprinkle a small bit of flour over the dough and flour your hands. Turn the dough out onto the prepared cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Gently press the dough to flatten into a circle that is an 8 inch diameter. I made mine into a heart, so you can really make whatever shape you want.
• Use a greased knife to cut into wedges. Top with sprinkles and gently press them to make them stick.

How long do you bake scones?

Bake scones at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until they’re light golden and cooked through. Don’t over bake them or they might turn out dry.
