These Strawberry Scones are the perfect morning treat that can be made gluten-free too!

If you enjoyed these Blueberry Scones, then you will love these Gluten-Free Strawberry Scones using fresh strawberries.

As we head into spring these Strawberry Scones paired with your morning coffee are the perfect choice to start your morning. I’m so ready for spring, are you? I also can’t believe how much our world has changed in a year but I feel pretty hopeful right now.

What’s a better way to enjoy a peaceful morning? Strawberry Scones!

Scones are very easy to make, similar to a bread recipe, so you may even surprise yourself to realize that you can make a batch at home and keep that money you were spending on them for other things.

How do you make Gluten-Free Strawberry Scones?

These strawberry 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.

Other gluten-free flour to use would include Bob’s Red Mill, King Arthur, and Cup 4 Cup. These work very well too.

Tips for Making Strawberry Scones:

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

It’s important to cut the butter into the batter carefully, 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 butter, not softened. This recipe also uses buttermilk, you can check out these easy ways to make buttermilk with what you have.

The easiest way to cut the dough is to shape it into a circle and then cut wedges…think of it as pie slices. This needs to be done with a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife. Once they’ve been cut into wedges it’s time to separate them and bake them up.

Remember to follow the full instructions in the recipe card below.

Once these are baked and served, they will have the same texture and taste as a regular gluten-filled scone, these Gluten-Free Scones will taste just as good, and no one will even notice it’s gluten-free.

How do you store Gluten-Free Strawberry Scones?

These scones can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

They are easy to warm up in the microwave or serve at room temperature.
