Delicious Vegan and Gluten-Free Cheese Scones

Recently we shared our fluffy and delicious Gluten-Free & Vegan Scones, which has proven to be a hit. After all, who doesn’t love a scone?

So, LiberEat has decided to create a cheesy version: Gluten-Free & Vegan Cheese Scones.

Gluten-Free & Vegan Cheese Scone Recipe

These cheesy, buttery and delicious scones are so incredibly more-ish and once you smell them baking in the oven you will struggle to say no. Especially when served warm with some soft dairy-free butter, they are irresistible. 

Perfect with a cup of tea as a snack or with a bowl of soup. You have to try our dairy and gluten-free cheese scones. You will not regret it.

Our top tip for making scones:

An important tip to making cheese scones or scones in general is to work the dough as little as possible. Use a light hand and work the dough until it comes together. 

Overworking the dough will lead to hard and chewy scones instead of light and fluffy.

Spice up your Vegan and GF Cheese Scones:

  • Add Jalapenos for an added kick. Stir in about 2 tbsp of chopped Jalapenos before bringing the dough together. You can also add in Cayenne pepper for a cheesy & spicy punch.
  • Make mini cheese scones for a canape idea. Add some chutney on top and you have the perfect finger food.
  • Add olives – a great pairing with the cheese.
  • These scones also work great with slices of fresh tomato and fresh basil – a bit like a pizza.

Doves Farm Gluten-Free Cheese Scones

We used the Doves Farm Gluten-Free Self-Raising Flour to make our cheese scones. We found this flour makes a light and flaky scone that allows the dough to rise and turn golden. Everything you want in a scone despite being free from gluten and dairy!

We love hearing from you! Send us pictures of your cheese scones on Instagram @Libereatapp and use #Libereat to show us your version!
