Get ready for the week with these tasty Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones!
These Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones blend the best flavors into one tasty fall treat.
If you are missing those yummy treats that are full of gluten, now you can have a great treat without the gluten with these scones.
How do you make these Gluten-Free?
These pumpkin chocolate chip scones can be made gluten-free with one simple swap of flour. For these to be gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour such as Better Batter.
If you do not have Better Batter, you can also use your favorite 1:1 flour, I prefer Better Batter and have used it for years, so that’s my go-to for this recipe.
Variations of Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones:
These scones can be made with or without chocolate chips, so this part is completely up to you.
A few other variations can be adding nuts to the recipe such as pecans.
Tips for Making this recipe:
These are best made hand-mixed and using a pastry blender works well too. This would be similar to what you would use if you were making biscuit dough.
It’s important to carefully cut the butter into the batter, it will need to be nice and crumbly, then you will add in the wet ingredients bringing together both the wet and dry ingredients into a ball of dough.
The butter should be very cold, not softened. This recipe also uses buttermilk, you can check out these easy ways to make buttermilk with what you have as well.
The easiest way to cut the dough is to shape it into a round circle and then cut wedges…think of it as pie slices. Once they’ve been cut into wedges it’s time to separate them and bake them up.
Finally, add a tasty vanilla glaze right on top.
