Paleo Blueberry Scones
Baking with grain free flours can be a little tricky. That doesn’t mean you don’t need a gluten free breakfast treat every now and then!
How to Make Gluten Free Scones
- The base of this recipe starts with almond flour. That makes this recipe not only gluten free, but also fits in the paleo diet. You’ll need three cups of blanched almond flour.
- Lemon zest and juice will give the paleo scones a fresh flavor.
- Maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness. Be sure to use 100% pure maple syrup.
- When you mix everything up the dough will be thick and sticky.
- Add in the cleaned and dried fresh blueberries. You can use other fresh fruit if you’d like, too!
- Use an ice cream scoop to make about 9 dollops of batter onto a non-stick baking mat. Once the batter is on the baking mat, slightly flatten the dough into a disc shape.
- If you make 9 scones, bake them for about 20 minutes. The tops should be golden brown. If you make the scones larger or smaller, you’ll have to adjust the baking time.
How to Rewarm Scones
These scones are best served warm and fresh. If you need to store them, wrap them in an airtight container and refrigerate them. To rewarm the scones, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for at least 20 seconds or until they are as warm as you’d like. Serve with coffee or tea!

Notes
Fresh blueberries works best for this recipe. To refresh the scones, wrap the cold scone in a damp paper towel and microwave it for 20 to 45 seconds, depending on the power of the microwave. It would be “oven-fresh”.
