Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup almond milk
• 1 large egg white
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup fresh or dried blueberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, non-fat Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg white, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix as this can make the scones tough.

Step 5

If using, gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a round shape about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Use a pastry cutter or a sharp knife to cut the scone dough into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious low fat gluten-free scones!
