The Best Gluten Free Blueberry Scones

I would be grateful if you shared this post :-)

When I made these Gluten Free Blueberry Scones a couple of days ago, I didn’t expect the huge outpouring of my readers asking for the recipe to be posted asap. (Backstory I had posted a survey on my Facebook page asking if people wanted me to post these scones, or raspberry macarons first.) Almost everyone said scones.

I get it…I am a total sucker for a flaky delicious scone. If you love scones as much as I do, you will want to check out all of my popular Gluten Free Scones recipes on the blog :-).

Let’s talk about scones. You can make scones sweet or savory, in many different styles and shapes! They make a delicious breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea snack.

I love to make my gluten free scones to go with breakfast, and making these gluten free blueberry scones from scratch is a nice relaxing morning routine. I really need to double my recipe so they last longer, my kids can devour scones at a record pace!! If you prefer strawberries, give these Gluten Free Strawberry Scones a try!

Shaping Scones

There are several ways to roll out and shape your dough for scones. You can roll the dough in a large circle and cut it into pie-shaped wedges, or use a biscuit cutter and make round scones. If you prefer perfectly sized scones, you can also use a handy scones pan to make mini scones or larger scones.

I like to use a scone base for all of my easy gluten free scones recipes. I based the batter on favorite Gluten Free Pecan, Date, and Coconut Scones. It was one of my earliest recipes to go on my blog years ago…and it still is one of my favorite scone recipes.

How to make gluten free blueberry scones:

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.

Add your dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk to blend. Add cold butter chunks to the flour in the bowl.

Wet ingredients mixed in a bowl.

How do you cut the flour into butter?

Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour. You will want to do this until the butter chunks are small pebble-sized. Cutting cold butter into the flour is a very important step in both making scones and biscuits. When the tiny chunks of butter melt, they make little flaky layers.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix.

VERY carefully fold the blueberries into the gluten free scone batter. I use my hands for this step so the blueberries are not all smushed. I find blueberries can hold up to this, some fruits that are very soft, like raspberries, do not hold up.

Use a biscuit cutter or tall cookie cutter to cut out the scone shapes. If you prefer to make triangle wedges, use the instructions in my Gluten Free Sweet Potato Scones recipe. It is a nice tutorial and really explains the steps well. You will probably cut through a few blueberries and this is okay!

*Optional tip: top with course baking sugar before baking.

Bake the scones at 350F degrees for 20-22 minutes until they are done. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack and enjoy. Note the blueberries will be super hot so be careful if you decide to eat one before they are cooled!

Can you freeze this gluten free blueberry scones recipe?

You can definitely free this gluten free scones recipe. You will want to allow them to fully cool, then place them in a ziplock bag. Squeeze out all of the air you can then seal and freeze.
