1 ½ cups all-purpose gluten-free baking flour
1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
½ cup organic cane sugar (or granulated sweetener of choice)
2 tsp baking powder
⅓ cup almond milk
1 tsp lemon juice
1 flax egg (or one large egg if not vegan)
½ cup vegan butter (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup chopped dark chocolate or chips (vegan)
½ cup organic powdered sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1-2 tbsp almond milk

Directions

Follow these easy-peasy steps to bring your scones to life:

Roast the Strawberries: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scatter the strawberry slices. Sprinkle with sugar and roast for 25–30 minutes. Let cool.
Prepare for Baking: Increase your oven heat to 425°F. Prepare another baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the gluten-free flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and chocolate chunks.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, almond milk, lemon juice, vanilla, and flax egg until combined.
Make the Dough: Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until a dough forms. Carefully fold in the roasted strawberries, but don’t overmix!
Shape the Scones: Roll the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disc, and use a round cookie cutter (about 2 inches) to cut out circles. Repeat until you use all the dough.
Bake: Place scones on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 12–16 minutes or until golden brown.
Drizzle and Serve: Stir together the glaze (powdered sugar, lemon juice, and almond milk) and drizzle over warm scones.
