It’s officially fall and that means the aroma of pumpkin spiced baking in the house! Last Saturday I had the chance to wake up early and sneak downstairs to make these scrumptious pumpkin scones – which completely filled my need for that fall baking aroma in the house!

These Pumpkin Scones are very easy to make – with very little butter and whole wheat flour, so you don’t even  have to feel guilty when you eat one, or two or three…..

I have to admit I’m a summer lover, so it takes me awhile to embrace fall, but once I do I fully commit to it. I have started decorating the house with mini pumpkins, wreaths, and getting my front door ready for the season. It’s the cool morning air that finally makes me realize  it’s almost time to put away the flip flops and grab a cozy sweater.

Because I LOVE pumpkin, I start baking with it as soon as fall hits, probably to make me feel a wee bit better about saying goodbye to summer. Let’s face it – pumpkin bread, muffins, scones or cake definitely make fall a whole lot more appealing. These pumpkin scones are a delicious morning snack with coffee and will help you ease into the season, I promise! Here’s to pumpkin season – let the baking begin!

To make glaze simply mix about 1/2 cup of icing sugar with a tablespoon of milk and a bit of vanilla until you get the glaze texture you want. A little thicker is better so it sits nicely on the scone and doesn’t just run off. The glaze is optional but totally worth it. It takes these scones to the next level in taste and makes them look so much prettier! ENJOY!
