Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, grated
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt for your pumpkin chocolate chip scone recipe.
- Cut in the cold grated butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, creating your homemade pumpkin chocolate chip scones.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Cut the dough into 8 wedges for your pumpkin chip scones.
- Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. These are your delicious pumpkin chocolate chip scones.
- Let cool slightly before serving your spiced pumpkin chocolate chip scones.
Notes
- For extra moist pumpkin chocolate chip scones, ensure you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
- If your pumpkin chocolate chip scones are flat, it might be due to overmixing the dough or not using cold enough butter.
- You can add a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for your pumpkin chocolate chip scones with chocolate chips.
- For vegan pumpkin chocolate chip scones, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use a dairy-free milk.
- For gluten-free pumpkin chocolate chip scones, use a gluten-free flour blend.
