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 do oats and chickpeas have in common? They can help support healthier soil when grown together in thoughtful crop rotations.
Oats use nitrogen from the soil as they grow and build protein. Chickpeas and other legumes have a unique ability to help replenish nitrogen in the soil through a natural process called nitrogen fixation.
One of the most fascinating signs of this process happens underground. Legume roots can develop small nodules that indicate the plant is actively working with soil microbes to support nitrogen cycling. 🌿
It`s a powerful reminder that healthy food starts long before harvest. What happens beneath the surface helps support resilient soil, thriving crops, and a stronger food system.
At ZEGO, we believe better food begins with understanding where it comes from, how it`s grown, and the health of the soil that makes it possible. 🌎

In August, Colleen stood in Jody`s oat field on the Manuel farm, and we have been waiting to show you these photos since.
National Farmers Day is next Monday, so this week belongs to the people who grow the food in your bowl. When we say know what`s in your bowl, it starts with knowing who planted it.
Swipe through the visit, and tell Jody hello in the comments.

Healthy soil. Stronger harvests. Better food.
On our Montana farm tour, we saw how thoughtful farming practices help support healthier growing systems. Crop rotation, including planting lentils and chickpeas alongside oats, helps naturally replenish soil nutrients and promote long-term soil health. It`s one example of how farmers work with nature to build more resilient food systems.
At ZEGO, we believe better food starts at the source, with transparency every step of the way.

🥣 Simple. Protein-packed. Made for busy mornings.
Breakfast is evolving, and more people are looking for foods that are quick, simple, nourishing, and made with ingredients they can trust.
That’s why we created ZEGO Organic Double Protein Oats. 💚
With nearly double the digestible protein of typical oats, 20–40% more fiber than standard rolled oats, and Purity Verified: third-party tested for 500+ agricultural chemicals and heavy metals; gluten-free (<5 ppm). It’s a simple way to bring more nutrition and peace of mind to your morning bowl.
The best part? Make it your own with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, nut butter, or yogurt. 🍓🍯🥜

💚 Food transparency is gaining momentum.
California’s proposed “Non-Ultra-Processed” seal could be another step toward a future where consumers have greater access to meaningful food information and independent verification.
At ZEGO, we believe everyone has a right to know what’s in their food. That’s why our Purity Verified® program makes testing information easy to access. Simply scan the QR code on your package to see the information behind the food you choose.

🌾 A milestone for ZEGO!
Our first regenerative organic oat harvest is underway in Havre, Montana. 🌱
After years of drought and grasshopper damage, this crop is looking especially promising. As part of our commitment to gluten-free oats, we walked the fields to verify they were free of gluten-containing grains and were encouraged by how clean they looked. As with any organic farm, there are some weeds, including bindweed, alfalfa, and amaranth, but they can be easily cleaned out during processing.
Grateful for partners like Jody Manuel of Prairie Ranch Farm and Paul Lightfoot of Patagonia Provisions as we work together to strengthen a more transparent and resilient food system. 💚

A recent Naturalist Podcast conversation with Nancy Coulter Parker and Brenna Davis, CEO of Organically Grown Company, explored themes we care deeply about: transparency, consumer trust, supporting farmers, and understanding where food comes from.
As consumers ask more questions, transparency is becoming essential. We’re proud to be part of the movement toward a more trustworthy food system. 🌾

Did you know oats go through a “milk stage”? 🌾
Before an oat becomes the grain we know, it passes through a stage where a milky substance forms inside the hull after pollination. Next comes the dough stage, before the oat fully matures.
Right now, the crop needs the right balance of heat and moisture to thrive. 🌱
It’s a reminder that there’s a lot happening behind every oat and that understanding how food is grown helps us all make more informed choices.

While other grains bloom out in the open, oat flowers stay hidden inside the hull. That tiny detail is one reason oat breeding takes so much care, precision, and patience.
Pretty cool for a breakfast staple. 💚
