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 gluten free alternative flours like 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 crunchier & flaky shell we all love on a scone, without compromising on a more moist middle!

Why You’ll Love Them So

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!

My Favorite Ways To Enjoy These Sweets

Whether you’re treating yourself or hosting guests, these Gluten Free Blackberry Scones are a sweet treat that capture the feeling of cozy in every bit! I have a few versatile ways I love to enjoy them!

Of course the first way is one of the best ways—warm from the oven with a cup of tea or your favorite coffee! I also love to eat these for breakfast over my oats or greek yogurt—kind of like a granola! If you do this, get more blackberries or another favorite fruit, crumble the scone over top, add the fruit & a drizzle of nut butter, honey, and a sprinkle of seeds (hemp, chia, pumpkin seeds).

Such A Simple Treat & Hard To Mess Up!

Blackberries and dough

Set the oven to 375 ℉. 

Add the almond flour, blended oats, baking powder, and salt to a bowl—mix well. 

Next add the eggs, greek yogurt, olive oil, vanilla and honey. Stir until everything is well combined.

Add the white chocolate chips, and stir well. I typically use Lily’s white chocolate chips—they’re refined sugar free!

Gluten Free Blackberry Scones

Last but not least, fold in the blackberries. Try to do this gently so they don’t burst—it’s not a big deal if a couple do!

Get out parchment paper, set it on the counter and form the dough into a rectangle that’s about an inch thick. The dough should be thick enough to hold it’s shape. Cut the rectangle into 9 large pieces or 12 smaller pieces.

Transfer the the 9-12 scones on to a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Bake at 375℉ for 20-25 minutes. While they bake, make a glaze using nut milk and refined sugar free confectioner’s sugar.

Once the scones have a nice golden brown crisp, pull them out of the oven, add the glaze & serve!

Frequently Asked Questions!

What types of flours can be used in this recipe?

Almond flour is one of my favorite flours to bake with because I love the flavor. Although there are many other types that can be used! Coconut flour, chickpea flour, cassava flour, gluten free flour. Those are my suggestions! If you’re looking for a good almond flour—I like to use Bob’s Red Mill. The super-fine kind is great for baking pastries!

My dough isn’t thick enough—what should I do?

I know this sometimes happens. If you’re having trouble with the consistency of the dough, add more flour! If it’s thick enough but you’re having trouble with it sticking to your finger, just oil your hands a little bit before touching it.

How & how long can these scones be stored?

These scones are really easy to store and can be stored for a while depending on how long you want to store them. I store them in a Tupperware or gallon ziplock in the fridge if I know I’ll be enjoying them within the week. Another great thing to do is make these ahead of time and store them in the freezer! I’ve made these 2 months ahead of time!
