What you need to make these gluten free blueberry 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 1-2 days.
So here’s what you need to make these scones…
- gluten free rolled oats
- gluten free all purpose flour
- coconut sugar
- baking powder
- salt
- vegan butter, melted
- almond milk
- lemon juice
- vanilla extract
- frozen wild blueberries
glaze
- powdered sugar

Wild Blueberry Oat Scones
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup rolled oats gluten free
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose baking flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 1 egg large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup frozen wild blueberries
glaze
- 1/2 cup powered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir the almond milk and lemon juice together until combined and then set it aside.
- Place all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir until combined. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, almond milk and lemon juice mixture, egg and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until a dough comes together. Fold in 1/4 cup of the blueberries.
- Shape the dough into a disc about 3/4" inch in thickness. Use round cookie cutter to cut out the scones. Reroll the scraps and cut out more scones. Mine made exctly 6. Place the scones on the baking sheet and top them with remaining blueberries. Bake the scones for 25-30 minutes and the edges are golden brown. Let them cool completely.
- Stir the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of the almond milk together. Add more almond milk by the teaspoon until you reach a smooth and pourable consistency.
Notes
I’ve been making these for a couple of months now- every Saturday I’ll bake a batch of scones and some baked donuts to enjoy during virtual church services on Sundays. It’s become a 2020 tradition- one thing to look forward to in an otherwise bleak year.
I’ve used this recipe as the base for a number of variations, including cherry almond (using fresh cherries and amaretto in the dough, and using almond extract and a tiny bit of maraschino juice for color in the glaze, which is topped with slivered almonds), an orange cranberry (using Craisins and orange peel in the dough, and the juice and grated peel from one orange in the glaze), and an apple cinnamon with a spiced glaze. Every variation I’ve made has been a delicious success. I appreciate the whole grains and lower sugar content of these- they feel indulgent without being totally unhealthy. Well done!
I will say that my scones never take more than 15 minutes to bake. I even lowered the oven temp to 400 this weekend and baked for 15 minutes, and they were perfect.
Aww yay!!! There might be a new flavor of these scones coming-out soon 🙂
These are great! I subbed 1/3 cup of regular sugar for the coconut sugar and brushed the tops with an egg wash. They were amazing with jam. Thank you!
I have to try brushing the tops with egg wash! Sounds so delicious! Thanks for sharing!
