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.
