Description
The perfect pumpkin treat: buttery, sweet scones with a light maple-sweetened Greek yogurt frosting.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cups Pumpkin Puree
- ⅓ cups Coconut Sugar
- ¼ cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Garbanzo Bean Flour
- 1 cup Oat Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1-½ teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 4 Tablespoons Cold Butter Cubed
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- ½ cups Greek Yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1 pinch Cinnamon For Garnish
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a medium-large bowl, combine flours, baking powder, sea salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a knife to roughly chop the butter into small cubes into the dry ingredients and mix.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. If it sticks to your fingers at a light touch, add more oat flour by the tablespoon until the dough dries out just a bit.
Sprinkle a small handful of oat flour over the parchment paper. Scoop the dough onto the paper, lightly roll it in the oat flour, and form into a circle about 1 1/2 to 2 inches tall (it shouldn’t be flat). Cut into 6 triangles and distribute evenly over the baking sheet.
Bake for 15–17 minutes, or until golden brown on top and firm to the gentle touch. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk Greek yogurt and maple syrup. Once scones have cooled, scoop a dollop of frosting onto each scone and spread over the top. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and serve immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1–2 weeks.
