HOW TO MAKE MOIST STRAWBERRY SCONES
In just thirty minutes, you could be enjoying these tender warm strawberry oat scones, here’s how you make them:
- Pre-heat your oven and stir together your dry ingredients
- In another bowl, stir together your wet ingredients and then add them together, stirring until the dough is crumbly but holds together when pinched between your fingers
- Press the dough into a flax disc (about 1 1/2 inches thick) and cut into 6 evenly sized scones
- Bake the scones for about 15 minutes
- Drizzle with glaze and pecans and serve!
That’s it! So easy, right?
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do you need xanthan gum in gluten-free baking? You don’t always need it, but most all purpose gluten free baking flours add it to create elasticity in the dough or batter.
What’s the secret to making good scones? For these gluten-free scones in particular, the secret is your oven temperature. I like to bake mine at a higher temperature of 425 F.

Roasted Strawberry Oat Scones with Chocolate Chunks
Ingredients
roasted strawberries
- 2 tbsp organic cane sugar or granulated sweetener of choice
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
scones
- 1 ½ cups all purpose gluten-free baking flour
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- ½ cup organic cane sugar or granulated sweetener of choice
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ⅓ cup almond milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 flax egg or one large egg if not vegan
- ½ cup vegan butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped dark chocolate or chips vegan
glaze
- ½ cup organic powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1-2 tbsp almond milk
Instructions
- First start by preparing your roasted strawberries. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scatter strawberry slices. Sprinkle with sugar and roast for 25-30 minutes at 350 F°. Remove and let cool.
- Increase heat to 425 F° and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.In a mixing bowl, stir together the gluten free flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and chocolate chunks.
- In another bowl, stir together the melted butter, almond milk, lemon juice, vanilla and flax egg and whisk until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until a dough forms. Carefully fold in the roasted strawberries and be sure to not over mix.
- Roll the dough into a ball and then flatten into a disc. Use a round cookie cutter (about 2 inches) or a glass to cut out circles. Repeat until you have used all the dough.
- Place scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown.
- Stir together the glaze and drizzle over warm scones and serve.
These look incredible, Ciarra! I love the combination of strawberries and chocolate, and roasting is genius…it leaves you with such an intense flavor. Cannot wait to make your version!
Thank you, Caroline! And thank you for the original recipe that inspired me! Your scone recipe is one of the first gluten free ones that I’ve actually loved! Obsessing over your entire blog!

My dough was very loose and i couldn’t cut the dough the way you described. I ended up putting it in small piles which have spread in the oven….so definitely not the way the recipe describes. Did I do something wrong here??
I’m sorry to hear that. Let’s figure this out because I promise you that this recipe is amazing! What did you use to cut the butter into the dry ingredients? Also, just wanted to double check that you added the almond milk, correct?
Did I misread the recipe, because I never saw where you were supposed to cut the butter into the dry ingredients? “In another bowl, stir together the melted butter, milk, lemon juice, vanilla and egg and whisk until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until a dough forms. Carefully fold in the roasted strawberries and be sure to not over mix.” And since I am not gluten free, could I substitute regular flour in the same amount?
Exactly the same issue here
Hi Shannon,
I’m sorry that my recipe caused an issue. I’ve made it many times and can assure it works. Can you explain more where it went wrong?

These scones look amazing! There’s a strawberry sale at my local grocers, so of course I bought a couple pounds to use in lassi and baking. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your post from Instagram, what great timing!
However, when I was reading through the recipe, it looks like it’s for your lemon poppy scones. Maybe the strawberry recipe got overwritten? Would you be able to post your recipe for the toasted strawberries? I’ve never made scones and would love to try!
Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
Thank you so much! You are too sweet. I have no idea what happened because the scones were posted months before the lemon lol. But it’s all fixed now! Thanks so much for pointing it out! I hope you enjoy!!!
The page shows the recipe for your lemon poppyseed scones but not the strawberry scones? Where could I find the recipe for the strawberry scones? 🙂
Oh no! I have no idea how that happened but it’s all fixed now. Thank you so much for letting me know. I hope you enjoy the scones!
So I followed this and did everything and my dough was very sticky and very lose. This recipe did not work for me. I use real butter too. I made sure to add everything and did exactly what you said in your instructions, so what went wrong??
Tried this recipe and it was a hit! Definitely a keep for this recipe. Thanks for sharing Ciarra!
This looks so good! Can I make with other kinds of fruit?
Thank you! Absolutely, I’ve made them blueberries and raspberries. You don’t have to roast them if you want to skip that step.
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
Yes, they will keep at room temperature for 3 days in a lightly covered container or place them in the freezer tight bag and freeze them up to 3 months. Just take one out about 1 hour before you want to eat it!
I made these using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-free 1-to-1 Baking Flour and they turned out SO delicious! They had a great mouth-feel, not crumbly, dry, or in any way gooey. I shared them with non-allergy friends who thought they were quite tasty. I made a second batch and opted to slice the strawberries about 3/8″ thick and double the amount so that the strawberry flavor would be a little more prominent. I also swapped to mini chocolate chips the second time to spread the chocolate out a little. I liked the way this toned the chocolate down to complimentary instead of star-of-the-show. I wrote down the recipe immediately to keep in my stash! I can imagine raspberries or cherries would be great in this recipe as well.
I am so happy to hear it! Thank you for sharing your experience with this recipe.
My batter was very loose and I followed this to a T. I ended up adding about 1/4 cup more flour so it wouldn’t spread into one massive scone but was still not moldable. Kind of looked like loose cookie dough. I baked mine for 14 minutes on the middle rack (middle of the recommended time as I always do) and the bottoms of mine were borderline burnt. I also don’t think these taste very strawberry like at all. I decided to make a sweeter strawberry glaze to put over mine as well to bring out the strawberry flavor and more sweetness.
