    These pumpkin scones have such a great texture and taste that you are going to want to eat them all year round.  And the maple pumpkin glaze complements this delicious breakfast treat beautifully.

    Are you one of those people who stops eating anything with pumpkin in it once winter is over?  Leave me a comment as I’d love to know.

    I am not one of those people!  I eat pumpkin all year round.  Luckily, Christopher is on the same page as I am.  We both especially love these pumpkin scones because they are moist, the taste is deliciously subtle and the texture is so lovely that you will, like me, want to eat them year round.

    These pumpkin scones taste heavenly with a cup of tea. Christopher can attest to that. (They also taste heavenly with a cup of coffee, which I can attest to!)

    Helpful tips

    • Use pumpkin puree which is 100% pumpkin, not canned pumpkin pie mix as it has been sweetened
    • Don’t overwork the dough as it will make the scones hard, not soft and moist
    • If the dough sticks a lot to your hands or your work surface as you shape it for cutting, don’t be afraid to add more flour
    • Make sure you use cold butter, taken directly out of the fridge
    • These scones freeze well; that is, if you have leftovers!

    How to make pumpkin scones

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

    Step one

    Gather all the dry ingredients: spelt flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt. (A)

    Step two

    Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl and combine the ingredients.  I use a pastry cutter. (B)

    Spices, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and flour on a table and then mixed together in a metal bowl

    Step three

    Gather the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, almond milk, cold butter, molasses and vanilla. (C)

    Step four

    Place the pumpkin puree, milk, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and vanilla in another mixing bowl and whisk until combined. (D)

    Pumpkin puree, butter, molasses and vanilla on a table and then in a bowl mixed with a whisk

    Step five

    Cut the cold butter into pats and place them on the flour mixture. (E)

    Step six

    Use the pastry cutter, butter knives or fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it forms little balls. (F)

    Butter cut into the flour mixture and then cut with the pastry cutter

    Step seven

    Pour the pumpkin mixture on top (G) and mix with a spatula until just mixed. Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface (I use a marble pastry board) and divide the dough in two rectangles.  With a sharp knife, cut the dough into triangles.

    Step eight

    Place the triangles on the pan (H)

    The pumpkin mix in the flour mixture and then the scone dough cut into triangles and on a parchment paper covered pan

    Step nine

    Bake for 15 minutes.

    Step ten

    Gather the glaze ingredients: confectioners sugar, pumpkin puree, butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg

    Butter, pumpkin, maple syrup, cinnamon and confectioner's sugar for the glaze for the scones

    Step eleven

    Add butter and maple syrup in a small sauce pan and melt on medium/low heat.  Take off heat, add sugar and spices and whisk until combined

    Step twelve

    Dribble maple pumpkin glaze over scones and let the glaze set before eating or packaging away.

    Let’s plate a pumpkin scone.

    I take a bite!

    Look at that texture.  It’s perfect and delicious!

      I can’t figure out why people stop eating pumpkin in the winter. My gosh it is available all year long! Now, I have a confession to make — I hope you don’t think too badly of me. But I’ve never tasted a scone. I know that must sound outrageous but it’s true. Now, your glazed pumpkin scones look amazing. This is something I’d love to make and enjoy. This is on my bucket list to make.

        Hehe. That’s so interesting that you’ve never had a scone,Marisa. I think I had scones as a child as my grandfather was Irish and my Italian grandmother used to make it for him. But then I went many years scone-free, until Starbucks served them. And then I went to Ireland and now I’m hooked. Thanks for your comment Marisa!
