Pumpkin Spice Scones: Cozy Fall Baking at Home

There’s something about fall baking that just feels like a hug — the warm aroma of spices, the touch of pumpkin, and the crisp air outside. These pumpkin spice scones are soft, lightly sweet, and perfect for savoring with a cup of tea or coffee. Best of all, they’re simple enough to make any morning feel special.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional)
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup milk (or cream for richer scones)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Glaze with Pumpkin:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tsp milk (or more as needed for consistency)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1–2 tsp pumpkin puree (adjust for desired color and flavor)

Instructions for Glaze:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
2. Adjust consistency by adding a tiny bit more milk if needed — you want it thick enough to drizzle but not runny.
3. Drizzle over warm scones for a lightly orange, autumn-inspired glaze.

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
3. Cut in butter: Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and vanilla.
5. Mix dough: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using. The dough will be slightly sticky.
6. Shape scones: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges (or use a cookie cutter for rounds).
7. Bake: Place scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Glaze (optional): When cool, drizzle with glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!

• Pair with your favorite fall beverage — pumpkin spice latte, cold brew, or a comforting herbal tea.

These pumpkin spice scones are the perfect way to embrace the flavors of fall and create a mindful, delicious moment in your morning routine.
