Have you made homemade scones yet?! It’s safe to say I pretty much whip up a batch of gluten-free vegan scones on a weekly basis now, always experimenting with new flavors. Let me tell you, it’s been one of the best ways to warm up my kitchen! They’re so soft and tender on the inside with a lightly crisp outer layer. Not like the dry, crumbly scones you may think of. No, I started with Chocolate Chip Scones and have ventured on to so many other flavors because of how delicious they are.
I promise that all of these gluten-free scone recipes are easy to make, and they each make for the perfect breakfast with a side of frothy coffee or tea. Plus, there are so many varieties of flavor combinations you can whip up!

These recipes are all 100% gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan friendly with a few paleo options too.
Remember, you can always use these recipes as a base to switch it up with your own favorite ingredients! Rather have a white chocolate gluten-free scone? Switch out the chocolate chips for white chocolate instead! More a blackberry person than a blueberry person? Use those in the Blueberry Lemon Scones.

Best way to store scones?
I like keeping gluten-free scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. After that, you’ll want to store them in the fridge or the freezer. I recommend the freezer for the longest-term storage – store in an airtight container and toast or bake to refresh when you’re ready to eat!

These paleo scones are loaded with chocolate chips and make for a delicious breakfast, snack, or dessert. Plus, 15+ other gluten-free scone recipes you’ll love!
Ingredients
- 2⅓ cups (224g) blanched almond flour
- ¾ cup (96g) arrowroot flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon, optional
- ½ cup (100g) coconut oil, firm
- ⅓ cup full-fat canned coconut milk, plus a little extra to brush on top of the scones
- 1 flax egg, see Notes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Raw turbinado sugar, to sprinkle on top (optional)
Instructions
- In a food processor or large mixing bowl, combine the blanched almond flour, arrowroot flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Pulse or whisk together.
- Add in the coconut oil and pulse or use a pastry cutter or fork to work the coconut oil into the dry ingredients until only very small chunks of coconut oil remain.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, flax egg, and vanilla extract. Add to the dry ingredients and stir or pulse until completely combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet and dust with arrowroot flour. Put the dough on top of the parchment, dust with more arrowroot flour, and press into a circle, about 1½” thick and 8” across. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours to chill. If leaving in the refrigerator for more than a few hours, I recommend wrapping the dough in plastic wrap so it doesn’t dry out.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut the circle into 8 scones and separate from each other so they’re not touching. Use a pastry brush to brush the top of the scones with a small amount of coconut milk. Sprinkle with raw turbinado sugar, if using. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm or let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
For the flax egg: whisk together 2½ tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon flax meal. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes or until thickened and gel-like before using.
could I use blueberries instead of chocolate chips in your Chocolate Chip Scones?
Hi Patricia, yes absolutely! I’d recommend fresh instead of frozen so they don’t bleed. Hope this helps, enjoy!
I haven’t baked them yet but the dough sure tastes good. I did make one little change though; when I went to reach for the sugar I saw a canister of powdered sugar I made with cocoa powder instead of arrowroot so I used that and then sprinkled it on the baking paper and on top as well. Don’t judge. :–)L
Oooh interesting, would love to hear how that turns out!! :D
They’re wonderful but they’d be better with a tablespoon of mocha powder next time. What I call mocha powder I grind coffee to powder and add it in equal amounts to cocoa powder and add it for flavor in different amounts when in the mood.
The scones though are lovely and crunchy on top and soft and lovely inside. AND they don’t even taste like almonds for a change.
Oooh that sounds fabulous!!! Will need to try that :D so glad you enjoyed them!
