Description

Soft, flaky air fryer blueberry scones loaded with juicy berries and finished with a sweet vanilla glaze. This easy, no-oven recipe is ready in about 25 minutes — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat.

Ingredients 

Blueberry Scones

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • cup heavy cream, plus a little extra for brushing
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Line the basket with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold, cubed butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold until just combined — do not overmix.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to burst them.
  • On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a 6-inch circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 equal wedges.
  • Arrange the wedges in the air fryer basket so they aren't touching, working in batches if needed. Lightly brush the tops with extra heavy cream.
  • Air fry at 350°F for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the scones on a wire rack for a few minutes to set.
  • Whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla into a smooth glaze and drizzle over the warm scones.

Equipment

  • Parchment Paper or Cooking Spray
  • Pastry cutter
  • Wire cooling rack

Notes

  • Cold butter is key to flaky scones — chill it (and the dough) if your kitchen is warm.
  • Frozen blueberries can be used straight from the freezer; do not thaw.
  • For a glossy golden top, brush with a beaten egg instead of cream before cooking.
  • Store airtight at room temperature 2–3 days, refrigerate up to a week, or freeze up to 3 months.
