Gluten Free Peach Pecan Scones

These gluten free oat and almond scones have the same flakey "crumb" as a traditional scone recipe! The sweet peaches and crunchy pecans make these a summertime favorite. This recipe is quick to put together, but the gluten free dough is easiest to work with if fully chilled, so start this recipe early. It's a great recipe to make the night ahead. In the morning, just shape the dough and bake!

Ingredients

Dry

10 tablespoons oat flour *
1/2 cup almond flour
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Wet

1 egg
2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
1/2 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Additions

2 peach peach, thinly sliced, about 1 heaping cup
1/3 cup pecans 1/4 chopped, plus a few extra whole pecans for topping
1 teaspoon coconut sugar for topping
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon for topping

Instructions

The dough for this recipe needs to be refrigerated for an hour to cool before shaping (for best results), so no need to preheat the oven until the dough is ready!
Add all the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl, and stir to combine.
Add all wet ingredients to a small bowl, mix to combine, then add to the dry ingredients. Mix to form a sticky dough.
Add peaches and 1/4 cup of chopped pecans, and use your hands to mash the dough and peaches together. There is a large peach to dough ratio, so just press to mix it all together!
Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour up to overnight before shaping.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees prior to shaping the dough.
When the dough is ready, place on parchment paper, and use wet hands to shape into a round shape about 3/4 of an inch thick.
Use a knife to cut into 6 wedges.
Slightly separate the wedges so the edges cook evenly.
Top with pecans and cinnamon/sugar blend.
Bake for 24-27 minutes.

Notes

*If making your own oat flour, use a high speed blender and process until very fine. If you don't have a high speed blender, I recommend buying a store-milled oat flour for the best results with this recipe.
