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.

💪 Want an easier way to get more protein at breakfast?
Many nutrition experts recommend aiming for 30–50g of protein in your first meal to help support stable energy, muscle health, and balanced blood sugar throughout the day.
One simple way to get there? Start with a better oat.
🌾 ZEGO Organic Double Protein Oats naturally contain 2x the protein of typical rolled oats, plus 20–40% more fiber, making them a satisfying foundation for overnight oats, oatmeal, smoothies, and baking.
Why we love them:
💪 Naturally double the protein
🌱 USDA Organic & regeneratively grown in the western U.S.
🌾 More fiber for lasting energy
✨ Purity Verified® for pesticides, heavy metals, gluten, and the top allergens
Making overnight oats?
Because our oats are raw, we recommend one of these simple prep methods:
✔️ Pour boiling water over the oats and let sit for 15 minutes before refrigerating.
✔️ Or soak them with yogurt.
✔️ Or add ⅛ teaspoon sea salt to your soaking liquid.
(This simple step keeps the oats tasting delicious by preventing naturally occurring enzymes from developing a sharp flavor.)
Top with fresh fruit, nuts or seeds, cinnamon, chia, or your favorite yogurt for an easy, protein-packed breakfast.
💬 What’s your favorite overnight oats combination?

Fibermaxxing is taking the wellness world by storm in 2026! 🌾 Focusing on increasing fiber intake through whole, nutrient-dense foods is not only a trend but a lifestyle shift that’s here to stay.
Fiber remains foundational for gut health, longevity, and metabolic wellness. It supports digestion, nurtures the microbiome, and helps maintain steady energy levels and lasting fullness throughout the day.
As more people prioritize fiber, they’re discovering its benefits for heart health and insulin sensitivity. Increasing fiber intake can also enhance nutrient absorption, leading to overall better health outcomes.
High-fiber foods are versatile and satisfying, making them easy to incorporate into meals and snacks. They help promote fullness, which can assist with appetite management and weight control.

🌾 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.
