Low-FODMAP Glazed Lemon Blueberry Scone Recipe; Gluten-free (2024)

After I created my low-FODMAP Cinnamon Chip Scones, I realized that I needed to try a recipe for low-FODMAP Lemon Blueberry Scones as well. My whole family and I fell in love with the soft, not overly sweet flavor of my low-FODMAP, gluten-free scones.

These low-FODMAP Glazed Lemon Blueberry Scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch or anytime snacking.

They are soft, light, tart and COMPLETELY addictive.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Authentic Foods GF Classical Blend, plus additional flour for patting out dough (this is my favorite brand, check out my low-FODMAP bake off blog to see why!)
  • can also substitute your preferred all purpose low-FODMAP, gluten-free flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Note: These scones are not very sweet. If you prefer a sweeter scone, you can add additional sugar
• 4 teaspoons double acting baking powder (ex: Clabber Girl brand)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (if not added to your low-FODMAP flour choice)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces or grated
  • If you choose a vegan spread alternative, be sure to chill it well
  • I used butter
• 1 heaping cup (180 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 low-FODMAP serving is 40 g
  • If using frozen, do not defrost
• 1 tbsp lemon zest (1 medium lemon)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 & 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup coconut cream (canned, drained of liquid) at room temperature
  • This is not the same as ‘cream of coconut’; see my low-FODMAP grocery shopping blog for some brands I like and tips on using this product
  • If you tolerate regular heavy cream, then OK to substitute that instead
• Granulated sugar, to sprinkle on top
• Low-FODMAP Lemon Glaze
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 3 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice (use the same lemon you zested)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400ºF; position rack in center of oven
• Line heavy baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking liners
• Combine low-FODMAP flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt in large bowl of electric mixer
• With mixer on low, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal
• Set aside this mixture for later incorporation
• Beat 1 egg in the same (or another) large bowl of electric mixer until very light and foamy
• Add vanilla extract, lemon zest and flour mixture and start the mixer on low speed, then pour the coconut cream on top of the flour
• Mix at medium-low speed for about 30 seconds until the dough just comes together
• Stir in the blueberries by hand gently, trying not to break or squash them
• Use lightly floured hands to gently pat out dough into two 6-inch thick rounds on a floured surface, about ½ inch thick (dough will be sticky and you may need to lightly coat it with some excess flour)
• Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut each circle in half and then cut each half into 3 pie shaped wedges
• Put scones 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet
• In a small bowl, beat the second egg
• Brush scones with beaten egg
• Sprinkle scones liberally with granulated sugar
• Lay scones on the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart and place in center of oven
• Bake 22-25 minutes or until golden and cooked through using a tester (since ovens vary, your oven may need more or less time)
• Cool 10 minutes on a rack
• While cooling, combine the lemon glaze ingredients in bowl and stir to combine well
• Pour low-FODMAP lemon glaze over scones
  • I like to leave them on the cooling rack and put wax paper under to catch the drips
• Serve immediately, or store in refrigerator until use (to re-heat place in preheated 350F oven for 10 minutes

Flaky, light and absolutely amazing!
