Ingredients
    Scones:
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 3 tbsp cold butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain nonfat)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
    • Maple Glaze:
  • Maple syrup (as needed)
  • Powdered monk fruit (as needed)
    • **There isn’t an exact measurement needed for the glaze. Simply mix maple syrup with powdered monk fruit until you reach a nice, thick glaze consistency.
Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.

  3. 3
    Grate the cold butter directly into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it is evenly distributed and fine crumbs form.
  4. 4
    Add the vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup. Mix with a rubber spatula until a thick dough forms.
  5. 5
    Gently use your hands to bring the dough together into a ball. Avoid handling the dough more than necessary so the butter stays cold. This helps create light, flaky scones.
  6. 6
    Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten it into a circle about ¾-inch thick.
  7. 7
    Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges, but do not separate the wedges before baking.
  8. 8
    Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the scones are baked through and lightly golden.
  9. 9

    While the scones are baking, make the glaze. Mix maple syrup with powdered monk fruit until you reach a thick, drizzleable consistency.

  10. 10
    Allow the scones to cool slightly. Drizzle the maple glaze over the top, then cut along the original lines to separate the scones. Enjoy!
