Whether for Thanksgiving or a crisp, fall night, these deliciously flakey vegan pumpkin scones are just what the chef ordered. Best of all, they are easy and only take about 30 minutes to make!
Ingredients:
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Pumpkin Puree
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Vegan Butter (chilled & cubed)
1/4 Cup Soy Milk
2 Tsp Cinnamon
1 1/2 Tsp Pumpkin Spice
1 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
Glaze:
1 Cup Vegan Powdered Sugar
1-2 Tbsp Soy Milk
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, vanilla, plant milk and brown sugar and whisk until sugar has dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, salt and baking powder and mix well. Add chilled, cubed butter and incorporate using a pastry cutter or a fork until it becomes a sandy texture.
- Pour into wet ingredients and mix just until it starts to come together, being careful not to over mix.
- Flour a flat surface and place dough down, lightly sprinkling more flour on top.
- Knead just a few times until it comes together, adding more flour as needed to avoid sticking. Then shape into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 pieces like a pizza, you may need to flour your knife in between cuts to avoid sticking.
- Place scones on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and bake for 20 minutes, or just until golden brown.
- Once completely cooled, mix your glaze ingredients and drizzle over scones.
- Add chopped almonds or pecans for garnish, enjoy!
