Gluten-Free Strawberry Scones
These Gluten-Free Strawberry Scones are tender, lightly sweet, and made with fresh strawberries and bright lemon flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten-free flour
- ¾ cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 3 tablespoons cane sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add in the eggs, coconut oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and ice water. Mix until dough forms and all ingredients are well combined.
- Carefully mix the strawberries into the dough. Turn the flour onto a lightly floured counter surface, form dough into a circle, slice into 8 triangle pieces
- Place pieces onto a baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. Bake for 24-28 minutes until the edges are very light golden and the tops become cracked.
- While the scones bake, mix the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Let scones cool for at least 10 minutes, then drizzle glaze over top and serve.

Notes
- Dice the strawberries small: Smaller pieces distribute more evenly through the dough and prevent excess moisture pockets.
- Work gently: Gluten-free dough is more delicate, so mix just until combined to keep the scones tender.
- Flour your surface lightly: Use a small amount of gluten-free flour when shaping to prevent sticking without drying out the dough.
- Watch for visual cues: The scones are done when the tops look cracked and the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool before glazing: Let the scones cool for at least 10 minutes so the lemon glaze sets nicely instead of melting.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy these on their own or pair with recipes like Medicine Ball Tea, Fig Chia Pudding, or Yogurt Parfaits for a complete breakfast or brunch spread.
