Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour (I have substitued spelt flour)
  • 1/2 cup quick/instant oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup almond/oat milk or dairy milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
Maple Glaze
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp almond/oat or dairy milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt.
  3. Using a pastry cutter or grater, cut or grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients until it appears crumbly. Note: Place the butter in the freezer for 15 minutes before grating for flakier scones.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, egg, milk and vanilla extract. Then add pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Work the dough gently with your hands until it comes together and forms a ball.
  5. Transfer dough on to a lightly dusted flour surface. Shape the dough into an 8 inch circle to about 3/4 to 1 inch thickness. Using a chef’s knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 equal wedges and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden in colour. Allow to cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then place on cooling rack.
  7. Maple Glaze: In a medium bowl, mix together powdered sugar, milk and maple syrup until it becomes smooth and there are no lumps. Once the scones have cooled down, drizzle the glaze of the scones.
  8. Once the glaze has set, serve and enjoy!
