Gluten free blueberry scones with lemon glaze. Made with hearty oat flour, coconut flour, fresh blueberries and tart lemon glaze.
If there’s one thing that we love more than anything else, it’s pastries. Late at night, you can find us DM-ing each other delicious looking pastries from bakeries we find on Instagram. Every time we travel to new places, we always try to find the best pastries. We almost always settle on a scone of some sort.
Scones are one of our top pastries. They are dense, delicious bites of goodness. They are perfect for drinking with a hot cappuccino or herbal tea.
The Inspiration Behind The Gluten-Free Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze
As we mentioned before, we love traveling and trying a scone anywhere we go. However, we wanted to create a healthier, gluten-free version of the scones we love to eat.
Many times, scones are made with heavy whipping cream and make us feel heavy in the morning time. We wanted to create a delicious blueberry scone that was light, healthy and super simple to whip up in the morning.
This almost never happens, but we created the best gluten-free blueberry scones with a tart lemon glaze on the FIRST TRY!
What’s in the Recipe?
Oat flour: To make the oat flour, we used gluten-free oats and blended them into a high-speed blender (this is the one we use). Blend the oats until a powdery-flour has formed.
Coconut flour: This flours is a great alternative flour to pair with almond flour or oat flour in baking recipes. When paired with other flours and different flavors, it doesn’t add a coconut flour.
Blueberries: We love blueberries in any pastry. They add a burst of berry flavor and are the best addition to this scone recipe.
How to Make a Lemon Glaze for Scones
Blueberry and lemon flavor pairs so well together, so for this scone recipe, we saved all the lemon flavor for the lemon glaze.
This lemon glaze is super simple to whip up in a matter of minutes. It’s sweet, tart and so delicious.
In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice (from half a lemon), 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 tbs of almond milk together. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the slightly cooled scones and enjoy!
