Gluten Free Orange Oat Scones
Recipe submitted from jam fan Kay! “I had recently ordered some of your jams and was blown away by the vibrant fruit flavors. My husband loves scones, so I was making some for breakfast and thought about how delicious it might be to incorporate your marmalade. These scones are rich with orange flavor and spice in every bite, with a delicious jammy glaze on top. You will never know they are gluten-free!”

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange zest. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for about 45 seconds then whisk in the almond milk, apple cider vinegar, marmalade and egg until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
