What’s the best gluten free flour for pumpkin scones?

We kept these gluten free pumpkin scones Paleo and Vegan friendly, and used cassava flour. It’s a nut free baking flour option that is similar to traditional wheat flour. It’s often touted as a 1:1 ratio for wheat flour replacement in recipes. While I think this is pretty true…there is one major thing about cassava flour to be aware of. The most important thing to know is that while it’s fine like traditional wheat flour, cassava flour is denser. You need to whisk it before measuring. And measure right away before it settles. Otherwise, you will feel like you end up with much too dense baked goods.

What is coconut butter? And can I just use regular butter?

The short answer is no. Coconut butter and regular butter are not interchangeable. Coconut butter is just shredded coconut processed in a food processor until it is buttery in texture. You can buy it in a jar at a health food store like Whole Foods, but it’s spendy. And you can make it with a food processor at home for a fraction of the cost. I like to use it in Vegan baking, especially with cassava flour. It helps to bind, and it also helps to give levity in baked goods with cassava flour, which can get a little dense.
