Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar, mixing thoroughly.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles a coarse, crumbly texture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts and dried cranberries or raisins.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your gluten-free oatmeal drop scones with butter, jam, or your favorite spread!
