1-Bowl Cranberry Orange Scones

Cranberry + Orange: A Dynamic Duo!

These EASY, 1-bowl cranberry orange scones are fluffy, citrusy, lightly sweetened, and undetectably vegan + gluten-free. Perfect for holiday breakfasts, brunches, and beyond!

The Magic Combination

These fluffy, tender, gluten-free scones get their perfect texture from a mix of almond flour, oat flour, and potato starch. We discovered this magical combination (after rounds of testing) when creating our Gluten-Free Blueberry Scones.

The Recipe

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup oat flour
• 1/4 cup potato starch
• 1/4 cup cane sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon flaxseed meal
• 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 egg replacement (such as flax or chia eggs)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, oat flour, potato starch, cane sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the melted vegan butter, orange juice, cranberries, and orange zest to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Fold in the flaxseed meal and egg replacement.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead a few times until it comes together.
6. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick.
7. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out scones. You should be able to get about 8-10 scones.
8. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each scone.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
10. Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before serving.
