Healthy Pumpkin Scones Recipe

  • Scones:
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 5 tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup light sour cream
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Whisk pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, allspice, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and baking soda together in a bowl. Cut cold butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles small crumbs.
  3. Mix 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, sour cream, white sugar, and egg together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture just until dough forms. Gently roll dough into a circle on a floured work surface and cut into wedges or use fall-inspired cookie cutters. Arrange scones on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  5. Mix confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl until glaze is smooth; spread over warm scones.
