Need a new simple and delicious dessert that tastes like a mix between a cinnamon roll, a pumpkin muffin and biscuit?! Try these Cinnamon Pumpkin Scones- promise they will be a new favorite!
I love how simple scones are to make and that they provide a bit of a different texture than a muffin…
I added sweetness to the inside with cinnamon and brown sugar similar to cinnamon rolls- then I folded the disc up and over before cutting.
These are the perfect amount of cinnamon and pumpkin!
The maple glaze and crushed pecans really add the sweetness and crunch to take these scones to the next level!
Enjoy these warm with a fresh cup of coffee on a crisp fall morning… hope you and your family loves these as much as we do!
Cinnamon Pumpkin Scones
A simple and delicious dessert that tastes like a mix between a cinnamon roll, a pumpkin muffin, and a biscuit.
Ingredients
Scones
- 2 1/4 c all-purpose flour
- 1/4 c sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 sticks of butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 c whipping cream
- 1/4 c + 1 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- crushed pecans for the top
Maple Glaze
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 c powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp whipping cream
- 1 tsp maple syrup
Instructions
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice and mix together until combined.
- Cut cold butter cut into little squares and add to the flour mixture and mix on low until coarse and pea sized.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree and whipping cream.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix just until all combined.
- Flour a surface and turn the dough onto the floured surface and sprinkle the top with flour. The dough will be more wet so add some flour to your hands and pat the dough into a 12” circle.
- Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and brown sugar and spread evenly to the edges.
- Begin to fold the outside in making a smaller circle. Sprinkle more flour on top and pat into an 8” circle.
- Using a pastry cutter or knife, cut the circle into 6 pieces making the scones.
- Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake on 400° for 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, make the icing mixing all of the icing ingredients together.
- Remove the scones from the oven, pour the icing over the top and sprinkle with crushed pecans.
