Pumpkin Scones with Pumpkin-Spice Glaze

Recipes

Ooooh, I LOVE me a good scone, y’all! When I went gluten-, dairy-, and sugar-free, I thought my scone-eating days were OVER.  But, hallelujah, I have cracked the code to delicious, moist, better-than-the-Brits-do-it pumpkin scone deliciousness!  Sometimes, I impress myself.  Do yourself a favor and make these.  You won’t regret it!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 Cups Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Flour
  • 1 TB Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cloves
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg ((freshly ground, preferred))
  • 3 TB 100% Pure Maple Syrup
  • 3/4 Cup Pumpkin Purée ((fresh or canned))
  • 1 TB Vanilla Extract
  • 1 TB Apple Cider Vinegar ((optional but I like the little bit of “tang” it gives))
  • Pumpkin Glaze ((see below))

Glaze Ingredients

  • 3 TB 100% Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 TB Almond Butter
  • 1 TB Coconut Oil, melted
  • 1/4 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees and line a baking tray with parchment or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour through nutmeg) and stir with a whisk to get out any lumps. In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients (maple syrup through vinegar) and whisk until emulsified. Gradually add dry to wet and stir until fully combined.
  3. If making mini scones, divide batter into two balls and push down into discs 6-8 inches in diameter. If making larger scones, put all batter into one ball and push down into a disc, approximately 12-inches in diameter, depending on desired thickness.
  4. Use a large knife to score the circles into evenly-sized scones (6-8 per circle). Don’t separate them, yet. Bake for 15 minutes then take out of the oven to re-score and separate slightly so they don’t merge together during the last part of the bake. Return to the oven for another 7 minutes or so until scones are set and bottoms are golden and firm.
  5. Allow to cool while making the glaze.

Glaze Instructions

  1. Combine all glaze ingredients in a bowl and whisk until combined (you could also do this in a small blender). When scones are cool, drizzle over the top or glaze them like you would a cupcake. You may have extra glaze for dipping apples in 😊
