Almond Flour Pumpkin Scones Recipe

No ratings yet
Soft on the inside, crispy on the outside pumpkin spice scones made with almond flour instead of all-purpose flour! This easy scone recipe is ideal for novice bakers and turns out with amazing flavor and texture.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Optional Powder Sugar Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Stir together the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  • Use your hands to shape the dough into any size and shape scones you desire. The dough is very sticky and will stick to your fingers, but I have full faith that you can handle this. If you prefer using two spoons to drop the dough onto the cookie sheet, that works too. I like sticking with traditional triangle scone shapes, and I make 8 large scones.
  • Bake the scones on the center rack of the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until they are slightly golden brown around the edges.
  • Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • If you’d like, make the optional powdered sugar glaze by stirring together one cup of confectioners’ sweetener with 2 tablespoons of water. Drizzle over the scones, and enjoy!

Notes

*Replace the tapioca flour with 1 cup of additional almond flour if desired.
