Recipe Tips for Making These Gluten Free Strawberry Scones
These can be made with any fruit you like or have in the house. I picked these gluten free strawberry scones because I love them both and red for Valentines Day.
Scones are one of those things that had to grow on me. I was always turned off at how dry they were.
Until I had a really, really incredible lemon scone in California that completely rocked my world and totally changed my mind. From then on, I will forever love my scones, even the driest ones.
Now I realize that not only are scones supposed to be dry, but that' what makes them delicious. Get a bug cup of tea or coffee and you have a match made in heaven. Try pairing your beverage with delicious gluten free strawberry scones.
Recipe Tips
Keep it simple, if you have all of the ingredients except pomegranates and or strawberries then use what you have. Frozen berries always work too!
You can also add dried cranberries, raisins, chocolate chips etc… whatever makes you happy. For me, these are what make me happy. Who will you make these for?
But feel free to use good old butter if that's what you have in the house. Obviously it will no longer be dairy free but it will still be super delicious.
I also chose to use strawberries and pomegranates because I love the pops of red color and that are both loaded with antioxidants and vitamins. You can easily use a variety of different fruits to mix it up a bit in these gluten free scones.
Use whatever is in your house to make life easier. But if you can, definitely try them at least once with the strawberries and pomegranates.
They are such a delicious combination together. Gluten free strawberry scones are sure to delight your tastebuds.

Katherine
Is it possible to leave out the xanthan gum? How would this change the scones?
lauren.kelly
Hi Katherine! I found this on Gluten Free Girl. "I am finding that whatever amount of xanthan or guar gum I would have used in a bread recipe, I substitute it with the same amount of flaxseed or chia seeds. Then I combine that with twice as much boiling hot water and stir. That’s it." Here is the link: https://glutenfreegirl.com/2011/02/chia-seeds-and-flaxseeds/ Please let me know how they come out, I am anxious to try this substitution!
