Ingredients

Scones:

  • 3 Cups Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend
  • Dash of Salt
  • 1/3 Cup melted Coconut Oil
  • 1/3 Cup Sugar
  • 2 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 2/3 Cup Almond or Coconut Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tsp. Vanilla
  • 2/3 Cup Pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp. Xanthan Gum

Maple Glaze:

  • 1 Cup Powder Sugar sifted
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla
  • ¼ tsp. Cinnamon
  • Dash of Nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. Pure Maple Extract
  • 2 TBSP.  Coconut Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla, eggs, coconut milk, and coconut oil.
  • Once the dough forms a ball (it will be slightly sticky), take the dough and transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • With the spatula, push the dough down and spread it out to be about an inch or so thick. (Dip the knife in water before cutting each slice) Slice into 8 even slices. Space each triangle an inch apart and you can shape the edges of your scones with wet fingers if needed.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for about 20 minutes and then transfer to a flat plate or cooling rack. (I learned this the hard way with one batch and they broke when I transferred them).
  • While they are cooling, make your glaze by simply stirring all of the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth. I recommend sifting the powdered sugar.
  • Drizzle or smother your scones to your liking. These taste amazing fresh out of the oven and even better with a cup of pumpkin spice coffee. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Can I make these scones ahead of time? You can prep the dough the day before and store in the fridge until you are ready to bake them.
  • If you want to freeze them, store them in a freezer bag, or air tight container unglazed for up to 4 weeks, then thaw, reheat and glaze 
  • What gluten-free flour is best for baking scones? You are going to need to start with a high quality Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend. I always recommend that you use my Gluten Free All Purpose Flour recipe.  However, if you want a store bought flour, I have only tested this with Better Batter Gluten Free Flour. 
  • How do I store leftover scones? I recommend not glazing these until you are ready to store and always serve warm. Only glaze what you plan to eat at that time. Store the scones on the counter in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat and then glaze before serving. The air fryer at 385 degrees for 3 minutes is the perfect way to reheat!
