I like to recreate my favorite café memories from my pre-celiac days with our ZEGO products, like these gluten-free scones.
I mean, after all, why shouldn’t Celiacs be able to eat delicious scones too!
Okay, so I admit that during college, I decided that I didn’t have Celiac disease (anyone else??). It was very convenient for eating at cafes during a summer trip to London and Paris. Though my body revolted, my memories of those pastries and scones are still fresh.
Since then, I’ve tried gluten-free scones so many times and have been SO disappointed. I knew we could do better.
Trust me, you’re going to love this ZEGO recipe. And, compared to its insulin-spiking wheat-based scones, ours is a nutritional superstar with lots of protein, fiber, and iron.
So pull out your checkered napkins, put on some Nina Simone, and enjoy!
How This Gluten-Free Scone Recipe is Better
Scones are usually a high-glycemic, low-protein treat. But our gluten-free scones have extra:
- protein
- fiber
- iron
from our Double Protein Oats and the seeds in our Muesli and Mix-Ins.
And, if you want to remove the sugar, just add in 8 chopped dates. The dough will be a bit less light, but still wonderful. And, when you bite into one of those soft bits of dates, you’ll be delighted.
Gluten-Free Scones
INGREDIENTS
- 160 g (about 1 1/4 c) ZEGO Apple Cranberry or ZEGO Cinnamon Twist Muesli
- 100 g (about 3/4 c) ZEGO Double Protein Oats, ground into flour
- 60 g (about 2/3 c) ZEGO Apple Cinnamon or ZEGO Cranberry Mix-Ins
- 50 g (1/2 c) sugar
- 3 tsp cinnamon, optional (recommended to use if you’re using the Cinnamon Twist Muesli)
- zest from 1 lemon, optional (recommended if you’re using the Apple Cranberry Muesli)
- 1/4 t xanthan gum, optional
- 1 tbs baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 c oat milk, dairy free milk, cream, or water
- 1/2 c dairy free or regular yogurt (coconut yogurt is not recommended)
- Sugar, optional for sprinkling on top (turbinado or white)
DIRECTIONS
- Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and fit shelf in upper third of the oven.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 1 minute until well blended.
- Add the wet ingredients and mix on low for 2 minutes until the dough is thick and well combined.
- If the dough appears to be too thin, wait 10 minutes to let the oat flour absorb the liquid. If it still looks too thin, add more oat flour 1-2 tbs at a time. The dough needs to be firm enough that you can roll it into a log using parchment paper.
- Place the dough on a large sheet of parchment paper.
- With the help of the parchment paper, mold the dough into a cylinder 2-3″ thick depending on the size you want (2″ is small).
- Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- Remove the parchment from the chilled dough and cut into 1-2″ rounds. Note, if the parchment sticks too much to remove, no worries! Just slice the round and bake with the parchment on. You can peel it off before you eat.
- Place on a greased or parchment lined sheet.
- Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
- Bake 20-35 minutes, depending on how thick your rounds are.
- Remove from the oven and eat warm or let cool. To reheat, sprinkle lightly with water and heat in a toaster oven on the bagel setting.

🌾 What Is Muesli?🌾
Wondering what muesli is? Pronounced “myoo-slee,” it’s traditionally a wholesome combination of rolled oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits, rich in fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats. This nutrient-dense blend supports heart health, digestion, and sustained energy levels throughout the day.
ZEGO’s organic muesli is free from nuts and gluten and can be enjoyed with milk or a milk alternative, just like the other cereals in your pantry. 🥛🌿Pro-Tip: Soaking your muesli in your favorite version of milk or water will make it easier to digest and make the nutrients more bio-available by decreasing phytates and lectins. Soak for 5+ minutes or longer for softer oats.

Jay Romsa, of Romsa Family Farms, is one of our incredible featured farmers.
He`s and a very talented farmer with a background in crop science and a pretty humble guy. You might recognize him from our Natural Products Expo West panel on specialty grain supply chains.
But what you might not know is that Jay matches our affinity for gluten-free oats.
"I opted for early retirement to help my son establish his link in the legacy I devoted my career to agriculture. I achieved my degree in crop science and conducted research on multiple crops and production systems. My career ended focusing on the benefits of oats while working in the food industry.
Oats are one of the most nutrient dense grains you can consume offering the benefits of satiety, low glycemic index, soluble fiber in the form of beta glucan helping with heart health and cholesterol reduction, loaded with essential amino acids, when grown in a gluten free system can be labeled as gluten free, loaded with essential amino acids and higher protein levels make them one of the healthiest grains you can consume."
We love a farmer who loves oats!

Is there such thing as too much fiber?
While we recently highlighted how great fiber is, and how most adults in the US need to be eating more of it – can there be too much of a good thing?
YES! Especially when you add too much fiber to your diet too quickly. This can cause gas, bloating, and and other GI side effects, like diarrhea. And if you add too much fiber with not enough water, there`s even a risk of intestinal blockages.
That`s why we say start low and go slow to introduce more fiber into your diet. Have a question about fiber? Ask your dietitian!
