My love of scones began when I started going to tea houses with my Mom and my Grandma. We have been going for years and I always look forward to the scone, jelly, and cream combination on the middle tier of the high tea! I also love scones with a delicious glaze on them, like my Blueberry Scones with a Lemon Glaze!
This is why making my own scone recipe was so high on my to do list. I knew I wanted to replicate that signature flavor that I love so much! Every time I snack on one, I immediately remember the relaxed and slow paced setting of the tea houses that I have enjoyed going to for so many years.
I decided to make a gluten free twist on this recipe because I love finding ways to make my favorite baked goods gluten free. I eat gluten free about 90% of the time, so making my desserts gluten free helps me stay on track during the week.

The Steps to make Gluten Free Blueberry Scones:
- The steps to making scones are a little different than your typical baking recipe. To start, add your gluten free all purpose baking flour into a medium mixing bowl. Add your softened butter to the bowl and knead it in with your hands. You want it to be mixed in so that the flour is a little coarse.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients except for the blueberries and mix in with a rubber spatula. Sometimes I will end up using my hands because I find I just mix it better that way.
- Fold in the blueberries with a rubber spatula.
- On top of the baking sheet lined with parchment paper, form the dough into a disk shape. Cut into 8 pieces and move them apart from each other on the baking sheet. The scones will expand a little so they cannot stay right next to each other.
- Bake, let them cool and enjoy!
Can I switch out any ingredients?
Maple Syrup- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey using a 1:1 ratio. This will not change the flavor much but if you prefer honey that is completely up to you!
Butter- If you want your recipe to be dairy free or vegan, you can switch out the butter for refined coconut oil or vegan butter with a 1:1 ratio. This also will not change the flavoring much.
Frozen Blueberries- You can use fresh blueberries as well, I find frozen are easier to work with since you need to handle the dough with your hands a good amount. The frozen are less likely to break open when handling. You also can switch blueberries out for another one of your favorite berries!
