These tender scones boast a delicate balance of fluffy texture, bright citrus flavors, subtle sweetness, and a generous scattering of plump fresh cranberries. The ultimate treat for special morning gatherings? Let’s Show You How It’s Done!

The tender crumb and delicate texture of these scones derive from the harmonious blend of almond flour, oat flour, and potato starch. After conducting multiple rounds of rigorous testing, we stumbled upon a enchanting blend that elevates the taste and texture of our Gluten-Free Blueberry Scones to new heights.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C), then line a baking sheet with parchment paper for effortless food release and cleanup. Set aside.
Combining in a sizeable mixing bowl, incorporate almond flour, oat flour, potato starch, granulated cane sugar, the essence of orange peel, baking powder, flaxseed meal, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Whisk together until fully incorporated.
As you whisk the mixture together, slowly pour in the orange juice, using long, gentle strokes of the wooden spoon to incorporate each addition. The ideal dough texture should strike a balance between being pliable and non-sticky, neither crumbling nor adhering excessively to the skin. To prevent the mixture from becoming too dry, continually mix and gradually add up to an additional tablespoon of orange juice in one-teaspoon increments. Next, incorporate your cranberries into the mixture with a gentle stirring motion to ensure even distribution throughout.
