Gluten-Free Scones

Gluten-free scones

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

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and fit shelf in upper third of the oven.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 1 minute until well blended.
  3. Add the wet ingredients and mix on low for 2 minutes until the dough is thick and well combined.
  4. 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.
  5. Place the dough on a large sheet of parchment paper.
  6. 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).
  7. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
  8. 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.
  9. Place on a greased or parchment lined sheet.
  10. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
  11. Bake 20-35 minutes, depending on how thick your rounds are.
  12. 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.

🌾 Today is Celiac Awareness Day, part of Celiac Awareness Month, and we’re honoring the millions impacted by this serious autoimmune disease — including our founder, Colleen Kavanagh.

Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune condition that damages the small intestine’s villi and interferes with nutrient absorption. It’s estimated to affect 1 in 133 Americans, yet many go undiagnosed for years.

In this short video, Colleen shares her personal journey — from painful, debilitating symptoms to a diagnosis that changed her life and led to the creation of ZEGO, a brand built on clean, transparent food you can trust.

This Celiac Disease Awareness Month, our founder Colleen shares an important reminder about the impact of GLP1 medications (like Ozempic) on nutrition, especially for those with celiac disease.

Earth Day may be over, but its message should guide us all year long. 🌍⁠
⁠
As Dr. Zach Bush says: “We can’t have healthy people on a sick planet.”⁠
⁠
And the data backs him up.⁠
Soil depleted of nutrients = crops lower in nutrition.⁠
Chemical pesticides = toxins in our food and water.⁠
Industrial farming = harm to the planet and our health.⁠
⁠
That’s why ZEGO chooses a different path—⁠
✅ Supporting regenerative and organic farming⁠
✅ 3rd Party Lab Testing for toxins and heavy metals⁠
✅ Sharing the results on our website, because you deserve transparency⁠
⁠
Earth Day is a moment to reflect. Your next meal is a chance to act. 💚⁠

🌱 Happy Earth Day from ZEGO! 🌾⁠
⁠
This Earth Day, we’re celebrating one of the most sustainable crops on the planet—oats! 💚⁠
⁠
Not only are oats nourishing and naturally gluten-free, they also use less water, help rebuild healthy soil, and require fewer inputs than many other grains. That makes them better for you and better for the planet. 🌍⁠
⁠
⁠
📍 This stunning field in Montana is one of the places our oats are grown. We’re lucky to work with farmers who care deeply about the land and grow using Purity Protocol methods to ensure safety for those with celiac and food allergies.⁠
⁠
This Earth Day, we invite you to pause and appreciate where your food comes from—and how it can help build a healthier planet. 🌍💚⁠

🧡 Customer Love from Texas! 🧡⁠
⁠
We’re always so grateful when you take the time to share how you enjoy ZEGO products! Here’s what one happy customer had to say about our Organic Cinnamon Twist Muesli:⁠
⁠
“This muesli is really good. I like it mixed with cottage cheese or yogurt. I love anything with a cinnamon taste and have not ever had any muesli like this before. I recommend trying it.”⁠
— CMVTexas⁠
⁠
✨ Not too sweet. Full of cozy cinnamon spice. And completely unique — just like all our muesli blends.⁠
⁠
Perfect stirred into yogurt, as a topping for baked goods, or enjoyed straight from the bag with your favorite milk as a healthy cold cereal alternative.⁠

💪 Why Protein-Packed Oats Are a Smart Start to Your Day 🌞⁠
⁠
Did you know oats are nutritionally superior as a protein source compared to many other cereals? And ZEGO’s Double Protein Oats take that even further — with 10g of plant-based protein per serving. That’s double what most oats offer.⁠
⁠
But why does that matter?⁠
➡️ Protein helps keep you full and focused.⁠
➡️ It supports muscle maintenance and growth.⁠
➡️ And for many people — from athletes to aging adults — getting a bit more protein at breakfast can make a real difference.⁠
⁠
In fact, a study of over 10,000 healthy adults found that breakfasts with 10–23g of protein were linked to better blood pressure and cholesterol levels.⁠
⁠
✨ Pro Tip:⁠
Cook your ZEGO oats with milk instead of water to boost protein even more (by ~8g) — plus you’ll get essential nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and iodine. Prefer dairy-free? Choose a fortified plant-based milk that suits your needs.⁠
⁠
💬 Whether you’re eating gluten-free, plant-based, or just looking to stay energized, our Double Protein Oats make it easy to get a wholesome, protein-strong start to your day — no powders or additives needed.

Did you know last week was National Sourdough Day? We’re still celebrating over here! 🥖😋⁠
⁠
We made our sourdough starter using our raw Double Protein Oats (yes, oats!). And guess what? We’ve been putting the discard to delicious use—like in these Gluten-Free Sourdough Discard Rosemary Crackers! 🌿⁠
⁠
They’re savory, herby, and totally snack board-worthy—plus they’re celiac and allergy-friendly 💚⁠
⁠
⁠
✨ Gluten-Free Sourdough Discard Rosemary Crackers ✨⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
⁠
1 cup ZEGO Double Protein Oats, ground into flour⁠
⁠
1 cup sourdough discard (gluten-free)⁠
⁠
1/3 cup crushed sunflower seeds⁠
⁠
4 tbsp ground flaxseed⁠
⁠
2 tbsp dried rosemary⁠
⁠
2 tbsp nutritional yeast⁠
⁠
1 tsp salt⁠
⁠
2 tbsp gluten-free baking powder⁠
⁠
4 tbsp olive oil⁠
⁠
Extra herbs + flaky salt (like Maldon) for topping⁠
⁠
Instructions:⁠
⁠
Preheat oven to 350°F.⁠
⁠
Blend ZEGO oats into flour using a high-speed blender or food processor (1–2 min).⁠
⁠
In a medium bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients.⁠
⁠
In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil with the sourdough discard (it won’t fully combine).⁠
⁠
Combine wet and dry ingredients. If the dough feels too dry, add 1–2 tbsp oat milk.⁠
⁠
Divide dough into two portions. Place between two sheets of parchment and roll it out (the thinner you roll it, the crispier your crackers will be!).⁠
⁠
Peel off the top parchment. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the crackers lightly with olive oil. Then sprinkle with flaky salt and extra fresh or dried rosemary.⁠
⁠
Slice into crackers using a pizza cutter, or use a small biscuit cutter for round shapes. Lightly score the middles with a fork.⁠
⁠
Bake for 30–35 minutes until edges are golden and crisp.⁠
⁠
Let cool, then snack away!⁠
⁠
Let us know if you give this recipe a try!⁠
Have you ever used oat-based sourdough discard before?
