Blueberry-studded, golden on the edges, and tender in the center—these almond flour scones know how to make an entrance. One bite and you get sweet, buttery goodness with juicy pops of fresh blueberries. And the best part? They’re completely gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free. Yes, really. No compromises, no cardboard vibes.
I’ve made a lot of Almond Flour Desserts over the years, but this Scone Recipe keeps sneaking back to the top of the list. It delivers everything you want from classic Gluten Free Scones: crisp edges, soft middles, and that slightly crumbly texture that begs for a cup of coffee. Only this version skips the gluten, the dairy, and the sugar crash.
Baking With Almond Flour can feel a little intimidating at first. It behaves differently than traditional flour, and it definitely has opinions. But once you get the hang of it, you’ll unlock a whole world of Almond Flour Recipes that taste just as indulgent—sometimes even better. These scones prove the point. They’re naturally rich thanks to almond flour, which means you don’t need much to create that buttery flavor and tender crumb.
Quick tip: if your dough feels sticky (and it might), pop it in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Problem solved. Chilling firms it up and makes shaping way easier. FYI, I often make the dough the day before so I can bake fresh Gluten Free Breakfasts without the early-morning mess.
Let’s talk sweetener for a second. It matters. I started out using erythritol years ago because it was the only option around. IMO, it made the scones a little dry and slightly gritty. Lesson learned. The right sweetener keeps these Low Carb Treats soft, moist, and actually crave-worthy.
So whether you’re diving into Almond Recipes for fun or hunting down satisfying Gluten Free Treats that don’t taste “healthy,” these blueberry almond flour scones have you covered. Who said you can’t have it all?
Gluten Free Almond Flour Scones Recipe
Ingredients
- For the scones:
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons monk fruit allulose blend
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or melted unsalted butter)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- For the glaze:
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons powdered monk fruit allulose blend
- 2 tablespoons blueberries
Instructions
Set your oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare a small baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
Grab a medium mixing bowl and add the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Whisk everything together well, making sure there are no clumps hiding in the flour.
In a separate small bowl, stir together the melted coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla, and egg until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough comes together. It should feel flexible and slightly moist, not dry or overly firm. If it seems too dry, mix in a small splash of almond milk, about a teaspoon at a time, until the texture looks right. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a round disc roughly 1 inch thick. Slice it into 8 equal triangles, similar to cutting a pizza. Separate the wedges slightly so there’s about an inch of space between each one.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops turn lightly golden. Leave the scones on the pan to cool completely.
While they cool, make the glaze. Blend the melted coconut oil, powdered sweetener, and blueberries until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the skins. Once the scones have cooled, spoon or drizzle the glaze over the top before serving.
