Gluten Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Scones

Servings: 8 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 24-26 minutes Difficulty: easy

This is my favorite baked good. It’s everything I need on a lazy morning while drinking a cup of coffee.

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour (I use King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure)
  • 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks (chocolate chips work just fine)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer cream the butter and the brown sugar.
  4. To the mixture add the egg, sour cream, vanilla.
  5. Slowly add in the dry ingredients: gluten free flour, baking powder, gluten free rolled oats, salt.
  6. Using your hands fold in the chocolate chunks.
  7. Divide dough into two balls and put on baking sheet.
  8. Flatten down each dough ball into a circle about 3/4 inch thick.
  9. Using a knife cut each circle into quarters and pull them out a bit to ensure even baking.
  10. Bake for 24-26 minutes.
  11. Cool for 15.
  12. These generally only last a weekend in my house so I couldn’t tell you if they last for longer than 3 days. Enjoy!

Notes

  • A stick of butter makes the dough too wet. It really does need just 6.
