Ingredients

• 120 grams Gluten-free rolled oats
• 150 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 75 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 180 milliliters Buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Chopped nuts (optional)
• 50 grams Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar, mixing thoroughly.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles a coarse, crumbly texture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped nuts and dried cranberries or raisins.

Step 7

Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your gluten-free oatmeal drop scones with butter, jam, or your favorite spread!
