Whew.
Now that I’m back to being in one place for an extended period of time, I’m back in the kitchen with a vengence. Oh yes…you better believe my brain is coming up with new ways to dress up a recipe, creating my own, and just testing things out to see how they work. This…is my element. This is what I love. So, I step away from the freezer for a moment and pull out my baking sheets and ingredients. The plan is to use ingredients I have so no grocery store trip is necessary.
One of my favorite snacks of all time is apple with peanut butter on it. So…I just happened to have Reeses Peanut Butter Baking Chips in my pantry, apple cider and applesauce in my fridge, and a moment to spare for my favorite room in the house – the kitchen!
Gluten-free baking is tricky, but satisfying. When you get it right, you get it right. I’ve been playing around with my scone recipe quite a lot lately, adding things and subtracting things to not just be gluten-free, but also vegan. Why? Because I love to experiment. And this, friends, was an experiment that went completely right.
Recipe: Gluten-Free Apple Cider Peanut Butter Chip Scones
Servings: 12
Time: Prep 10 minutes; Bake 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2-1/4 cup Pamela’s Products Baking & Pancake Mix
- 1/3 cup sugar (I used Truvia)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup Reeses Peanut Butter Baking Chips
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
- 2/3 cup apple cider
Directions:
Preheat the oven up to 375°F.
Mix the dry ingredients together.
Add the applesauce and apple cider. Mix together with a fork. Dough will be thick.
Drop large, tall dollops of dough (scones will spread when baking) onto lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake for 15-17 minutes.

Do you love caramel apples? Well, surprisingly, that’s what these taste like…although with that peanut butter flavor there at the end. They are soft, delightful little breakfast goodies to bake up for anytime. And if you love apples with peanut better…yeah…you’ll like these. I promise. I mean…the flavor combination is a sure-fire win.
I hope to make these again soon. Baking up breakfast has never been more delicious and savory-sweet!
