Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free oat flour
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cups Whey protein isolate (unflavored)
• 1 tablespoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.33 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free oat flour, almond flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some larger, pea-sized pieces remaining.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round, 1-inch thick disk. Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Place the scone wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy your high-protein gluten-free scones warm or at room temperature.
