Banana Walnut Scones, so moist and delicious...plus they are gluten free, dairy free, and vegan!

Did you know it’s Brunch Week here on AMFT? I just love brunch and the versatility of it! One Monday, I shared a killer Starbuck’s copycat Mocha Frappaccino that will make you reconsider spending $4.50 each…mine is only around $.50. However, today I have the most moist and delicious Banana Walnut Scones that you’ve ever tasted!

I’ve made a lot of gluten free/dairy free desserts and breads over the past 5 months or so and this one tops them all! Seriously, this is probably the best one I’ve made so far. The texture of the scones resembles that of a traditional breakfast muffin (light and airy) as opposed to a traditional, dense scone, but I don’t care. These were AMAZING! Hubbyman didn’t even realize they were “special” until he saw me eating one. He said they were so good and had no idea they were gluten free and vegan! Now that is the best praise of all…at least to me!

Banana Walnut Scones, so moist and delicious...plus they are gluten free, dairy free, and vegan!

I used my gluten free flour blend in this recipe, but you could substitute Cup4Cup or King Arthur GF Flours and it should work beautifully!

Banana Walnut Scones (Gluten Free and Vegan)

Banana Walnut Scones (Gluten Free and Vegan)

Yield: 8 scones
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 33 minutes

These moist and delicious scones are full of banana flavor with tons of walnuts. They are gluten free, dairy free, and vegan too, but they are so good that you'd never know!

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups gluten free flour blend
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, COLD and cut into small pieces (for dairy free scones, use Earth Balance or other vegan butter)
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup rice milk (well chilled, plus 2 tbsp for brushing the tops)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp coarse sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Work in the cold "butter" until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the nuts.
  3. Whisk together bananas, rice milk, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients, stirring until well blended. The dough will be very sticky, but should be cohesive.
  4. Drop dough onto the parchment paper and shape into a circle the size of a dinner plate. Use a pizza cutter or butter knife to cut the dough into 8 triangle-shapes. (The dough will be very sticky and will not move from its spot, but that's okay).
  5. Brush with a little extra rice milk and sprinkle the scones with coarse sugar. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    These look awesome! Question- if serving for a brunch… can you serve them warm or room temp? Or should I warm them up right before? Thanks!

    I’ve been baking gluten-free all month because I’m taking a gluten-free baking course. I happen to have a bunch of ripe bananas and some almond milk that need a good use–I think I may have found it. Also, I would have never guessed that these were vegan or gluten-free by looking at them! Kudos to you, they’re gorgeous!
