Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground flaxseed. If you're using optional herbs or spices, add them in at this stage.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.
Cut the coconut oil into the dry mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the almond milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or spoon. Mix just until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a flat round disk approximately 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick.
Transfer the disk to the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, cut the disk into 6 triangular wedges, but do not separate them completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is firm to the touch and lightly golden on top.
Allow the scone bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before separating the wedges and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
