These tender gluten free lemon poppy scones are bursting with bright lemon flavor poppy seeds. Lemon lovers rejoice because these cute little oatmeal scones are made gluten free, dairy free and vegan.

Vegan Gluten Free Lemon Scones

These gluten-free lemon scone are my favorite and I whip it up every chance I get. Here’s how to make them:

gluten-free rolled oats
gluten-free all purpose baking flour (I used 1:1)
organic cane sugar or coconut sugar
poppy seeds
baking powder
ground flax meal + water (flax egg) or real egg if not vegan
almond milk
vegan butter
lemon juice and lemon zest
vanilla extract
organic powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 425 F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, stir together the flax meal and water to create a flax egg and set it aside to gel.
In a mixing bowl, stir together all the dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk togerher the almond milk, melted butter, lemon juice and vanilla. Add in the flax egg mixture and mix until combined.
Transfer the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until a dough comes together. Form the dough into a rectangle about 1″ inch in thickness and cut it into 6 even squares. Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes and golden brown.
Let cool before stirring together the glaze ingredients using 1 tablespoon of almond milk and adding more until you reach a glaze consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the scones and serve.

Do you think it’ll be okay if I replace the egg with a flax egg or should I try a different replacer?

Will honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar work for the sweetener?
