These gluten free ginger scones are just as soft and buttery as the original recipe and are perfect with your morning coffee.
I can’t tell you how rewarded I felt when I baked these Gluten Free Ginger Scones. I mean it. Usually, when made with gluten free flours, scones hardly come out with that perfectly soft but thick consistency of the regular ones.
I knew that ahead of time, but still I was hoping to create something awesome that could recreate the impression of enjoying the amazing scones I just saw in the morning at TruBru, one of my favorite coffee shops here in Orange County
I adapted a scones recipe I used to use back in the days when gluten wasn’t an issue, and as I started seeing them rise like crazy through the oven window I began to cross my fingers.
I started preparing a ginger glaze while they finished baking. The entire kitchen was inebriated with their delicious smell….
I finally took them out and glazed them. And just by seeing how good they looked, I could barely control myself from digging my teeth into one of my gluten free ginger scones before taking photos!
…After a bit of staging and a few (or should I better say “many”?) shots, it was finally time to test them!
The crispy ginger glaze on top is just the perfect preamble to an amazing flavor experience. The kick of this Asian spicy root merges flawlessly with the sweetness of the raisins… but what really gets you is the texture. Simply perfect. Like you didn’t even know they were gluten free.
Try it out these scones asap! They are the best thing ever!

Ingredients
- 1 cups (237 ml) gluten-free flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 3 oz (80 g) Erythritol
- 2 tsp Xanthan gum or Sweet Potato Starch
- 1 tbsp Ground Ginger
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 4 oz (100 g) Raisins
- Stevia
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 oz (35 g) Coconut Oil
- 2 free range Eggs
- 1 cups (250 ml) Coconut Milk
- 2 tbsp Ginger Liquor
- 1 tbsp Erythritol
- 1 tbsp Ginger Liquor
- 1/4 tsp Ginger Powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Sift the flour, salt, erythritol, gum (or sweet potato starch), and baking powder into a medium bowl.
- Add raisins, spices, stevia, melted coconut oil, lightly beaten eggs, coconut milk, and liquor; mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Cover a baking pan with parchment paper, place the dough on top, and shape it into a circle.
- Pat the dough to 3 cm thickness, then cut into slices.
- Separate the scones so they won’t stick when they rise; sprinkle with more erythritol.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until browned.
For the ginger glaze
- Heat a small pan and pour in erythritol until melted; add ginger liquor and ground ginger, mixing until bubbly and foamy.
- Remove from heat, let bubbles subside, then pour glaze over scones before it solidifies.
- Let the scones cool completely.
Notes
- To prevent overly dry scones, don’t overmix the batter.
- For a richer flavor, use freshly grated ginger instead of ground ginger.
- Store baked scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
