These Strawberry Scones are the perfect morning treat that can be made gluten-free too!
If you enjoyed these Blueberry Scones, then you will love these Strawberry Scones using fresh strawberries.
As we head into spring these Strawberry Scones paired with your morning coffee are the perfect choice to start your morning. I’m so ready for spring, are you? I also can’t believe how much our world has changed in a year but I feel pretty hopeful right now.
What’s a better way to enjoy a peaceful morning? Strawberry Scones!
Scones are very easy to make, similar to a bread recipe, so you may even surprise yourself to realize that you can actually make a batch at home and keep that money you were spending on them for other things.
How do you make Gluten-Free Strawberry Scones?
These strawberry 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.
Tips for Making Strawberry Scones:
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.
Now if you enjoyed those blueberry scones, let’s make a batch of these delicious Strawberry Scones!

These look so delicious, Kristy. I really struggle with getting things to taste good, Gluten Free! I’m going to try these because a change of flour is all you need. Thanks so much for linking up at All About Home. I’ll be featuring this post on Monday evening!
I have made theses two times and they are delicious. I don’t even put the icing on them. I have shared the recipe with two friends who have gluten allergies. Most people can’t tell the difference unless you tell them they are eating gluten free. I have even frozen them and taken them out later and they are still yummy.
I’m so happy to hear that, these are my favorites too!
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes those should work.
So are you saying that regular all purpose flour is gluten free
No, I’m saying that if you want to make them gluten-free, you have to use a gluten-free all purpose flour.
