Fall In Love with These Gluten Free Blackberry Scones & Gluten Free Baking!

Gluten Free Goodness! While traditional scones are made with regular wheat flour, these Gluten Free Blackberry Scones use a blend of almond flour and ground oats (oat flour). While this may not sound as enticing to some—let me tell you a little secret! I actually prefer these gluten free because it helps add that outer crunchy & flaky shell we all love on a scone, without compromising on a more moist center!

How To Make Gluten-Free Blackberry Scones

Ingredients

• 2 Cups Almond Flour
• 1 Cup Oats (blended) or Oat Flour
• 2 Eggs
• ½ Cup Greek Yogurt
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
• ¼ Cup Honey
• 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
• ½ Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Cup Blackberries I prefer fresh 
• 1 Cup White Chocolate I used Lily’s 

Glaze 

• ¼ Cup Nut Milk
• ¼ Cup Refined Sugar Free Confectioner’s Sugar

Gluten-Free Blackberry Scones Step-By-Step

Preheat your oven to 375°F to ensure it's ready for baking. Start by combining your dry ingredients in a mixing bowl: almond flour, blended oats, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix these thoroughly to distribute the baking powder evenly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, Greek yogurt, olive oil, vanilla extract, and honey. Once well combined, pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms. To this dough, add the white chocolate chips—Lily’s white chocolate chips are a great option since they are refined sugar-free. Stir these in well to ensure even distribution.

Next, gently fold in the fresh blackberries, being careful to avoid bursting them; it’s alright if a few do, but the goal is to keep them mostly intact for a burst of flavor in each bite. Prepare a sheet of parchment paper on your counter and shape the dough into a rectangle about an inch thick. The dough should be sturdy enough to hold its shape without spreading. Using a sharp knife, cut the rectangle into either 9 large or 12 smaller scones, depending on your preference.

Carefully transfer these scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out to allow for even baking. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones develop a beautiful golden brown color and a crispy exterior.

While the scones are baking, prepare a simple glaze by mixing nut milk with refined sugar-free confectioner’s sugar until smooth. Once the scones are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over them. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flaky texture, juicy blackberries, and sweet white chocolate chips in these gluten-free scones.

Why You’ll Love These Gluten Free Blackberry Scones

Sweet White Chocolate and Tangy Blackberries! These two ingredients will FOREVER be a combo I can’t get over. The blackberries add a burst of flavor and natural sweetness, while the white chocolate brings a sweet and creamy richness! The white chocolate on the outside of the scone get this wonderful, crispy, candied flavor that adds even more depth! While I definitely prefer fresh blackberries for the look of the scone, frozen berries work just as well! Each bite of these Gluten Free Blackberry Scones is a juicy explosion of fruity and rich goodness.

Flaky and Crumbly Texture! This is a must in a scone, and these are definitely not lacking! While some gluten free scones can be dry and crumbly—these hold the moisture we are looking for! This is because of the greek yogurt—it ensures a moist, tender, and crumbly texture, making the perfect balance of rich and light!

The Sweetness Is Up To You! This is another plus of this treat…you can adjust the sweetness of your scones to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter treat, add a little extra honey or a the sweet glaze on top.

Experiment with Fruits and Flavors You Love! While these scones are absolutely amazing with blackberries and white chocolate—you can easily experiment with other fruits, nuts, seeds, herbs, and types of chocolate!
