Pumpkin Scones...Starbucks Style!


Here's a taste of what I whipped up at breakfast today for our houseguests! My sister-in-law Jen and her two boys are staying with us...and we thought this would be a nice treat for a 'cool' fall morning breakfast. The funny part is that I actually got this recipe from Jen last fall after a conversation about the temptation of Fall treats at Starbucks! Is it wrong to feed a houseguest her own recipe??! Hmm..I don't think she minded!! Oh..and the boys gobbled them right up too!

Pumpkin Scones

2 1/4 cups spelt flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup maple syrup, agave, honey (or something sweet of your choice!)
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup almond milk
2/3 cup pureed pumpkin
1/2 cup coconut oil

Mix wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls. Combine mixtures. Pour out into pan...it will look a bit runny...that's okay! Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Take out and cut into shape of your choice! Great with a little maple syrup or jam drizzled on top!

*The original recipe had buttermilk rather than almond milk...and butter rather than coconut oil. Go ahead and use any combination...the way I posted the recipe makes it vegan friendly though:)

ENJOY!
