Gluten-Free Oatmeal Scones

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups gluten-free oat flour
1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a dairy-free option)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free oat flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface or parchment paper. Gently knead it a few times, then shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick.

Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out scones from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone.

Optional: Sprinkle a few extra oats on top of each scone for added texture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden on top and cooked through.

Allow the oatmeal scones to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

These gluten-free oatmeal scones are a delightful and wholesome treat. Enjoy them with your favorite jam or spread!
