What you need to make these blackberry scones

This gluten free recipe is so simple to make and comes together rather quickly. The best part about these scones (besides the fact that they are delicious) is that they keep for about five days.

I like to loosely cover mine and place them in the refrigerator until I’m ready to eat and then I take one out and microwave it for about 20 seconds.

You could also freeze these scones and defrost one every time you have a craving or keep them losing covered on the counter at room temperature for 2-3 days.

So here’s what you need to make these scones…

• gluten free rolled oats
• gluten free all purpose baking flour
• coconut sugar
• baking powder
• salt
• almond milk or plant milk
• lemon juice and zest
• egg
• vanilla extract
• vegan butter, melted
• blackberries, fresh
• powdered sugar or powdered erythritol for refined sugar free

A few substitutions

For the gluten free baking flour, you can substitute oat flour but be sure to add about 1 tsp xanthan gum.

For the coconut sugar, you can replace this with any granulated sugar such as cane sugar, maple sugar or Truvia.

For the vegan butter, you can replace this with real butter if not dairy free.

• 1 1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until a dough forms. It will seem a little wet at first but let the dough rest for 2-3 minutes and it will soak up some of the moisture. Fold in the blackberries.
