Easy Blueberry Scones (Gluten-Free Optional) (2024)

Make a batch of your favorite Easy Blueberry Scones, easy to make gluten-free if needed too!

If you saw the Blueberry Bread on Monday, now it’s time to enjoy these Easy Blueberry Scones. Just as easy as the Blueberry Bread is to make, these Blueberry Scones use pantry staples.

I’m sure many of us are missing our morning coffee and pastry routine? I’ll be honest and say though, I’ve missed that routine since I went gluten-free and scones were no longer on my list of foods to eat.

The good thing is these blueberry scones can easily be made gluten-free too. I’m going to show you exactly how to do that!

Scones are very easy to make, similar to a bread recipe, so you may even surprise yourself to realize that you can actually make a batch at home and keep that money you were spending on them for other things. I’d say these are probably a fraction of the cost of 1 at a coffee shop versus making enough to last a week.

How do you make Gluten-Free Blueberry Scones?

These blueberry scones can be made gluten-free with one simple swap of flour. For these to be gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour such as Better Batter.

If you do not have Better Batter, you can also use your favorite 1:1 flour, I prefer Better Batter and have used it for years, so that’s my go-to for this recipe.

Variations of Blueberry Scones:

Another thing I like to do is add a squirt of fresh lemon to the batter, this really gives it a great Blueberry Lemon flavor, you can do that as well or even add different varieties of fruit.

Tips for Making Blueberry Scones:

These are best made hand-mixed and using a pastry blender works well too. This would be similar to what you would use if you were making biscuit dough.

It’s important to carefully cut the butter into the batter, it will need to be nice and crumbly, then you will add in the wet ingredients bringing together both the wet and dry ingredients into a ball of dough.

The butter should be very cold, not softened. This recipe also uses buttermilk, you can check out these easy ways to make buttermilk with what you have as well.

The easiest way to cut the dough is to shape it into a round circle and then cut wedges…think of it as pie slices. Once they’ve been cut into wedges it’s time to separate them and bake them up.

If you prefer, you can also add a tasty vanilla glaze right on top.

Now it’s time to take a minute, relax, and enjoy that cup of coffee with your own homemade blueberry scones!
